Malicious code in @ndikagantengg/baileys (npm)
What this malware does
Malicious package. @ndikagantengg/baileys is a trojanized fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library (@whiskeysockets/baileys). it silently subscribes every victim (via the injected WhatsApp newsletter/channel FOLLOW on connect) to attacker-controlled WhatsApp channels — hardcoded newsletter JIDs: 120363428626908481@newsletter. Legitimate Baileys never hardcodes a channel JID or auto-follows on connect; all published versions are malicious.

Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @ndikagantengg/baileys (7 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @ndikagantengg/baileys from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @ndikagantengg/baileys was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.
