Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 2.2.3`

Part of a self-republishing campaign: generated names of the form <adjective>_<animal>_<colour>-<number>, each package shipping the same autopublish.js, which runs `npm publish --access public` to publish the package again. Self-replicating publication is the propagation step of a registry worm and fills the registry with copies. Version examined: 2.2.3; tarball SHA-256 b524996b7179cbc2702ad62f3d2917241f9cf8ad5d559202eac825ebd7cd9844.
