Malicious code in alipclutch-baileys (npm)

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (1dd86aa923d73259d0c009ef73d82ca0ddf54e3bf938c23f67291c2f5e4753ed) This package is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library. In lib/Socket/messages-send.js at lines 425 and 436, code uses String.fromCharCode(...) with a decimal-byte array that decodes to the hardcoded host https://fiora.nixel.my.id/ and issues network requests to it from within the message-send path. The destination is obfuscated (reconstructed from a char-code array rather than appearing as a plain URL literal) and is unrelated to WhatsApp's own infrastructure, so on normal use of the send API caller-side message data is diverted to a third-party endpoint controlled by the package author. The obfuscation of the destination, its placement inside the core send path of a WhatsApp automation library, and the lack of any documented purpose for that host are consistent with covert exfiltration/relay of message traffic using the installer's authenticated session. ## Source: ghsa-malware (09e5b87da389cf9d1ea5964b0bd5f22a4ac0dab50847448dc1352158633f09f1) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
