Details

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: 2.2.2; tarball SHA-256 223ace08ab038a6ee47fd7d04a2f489d9d4817d4b147f164be1de264918235c1.
