Which versions of devilkyuuna are malicious?

The following npm versions of devilkyuuna are flagged malicious: 1.0.11, 1.0.12, 1.0.13, 1.0.14. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate devilkyuuna if I installed it?

Remove devilkyuuna 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.

I already installed devilkyuuna — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If devilkyuuna 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.

What this malware does

devilkyuuna is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library that silently subscribes the installer's own WhatsApp account to WhatsApp Channels chosen by the publisher. When the socket connects, code in lib/Socket/newsletter.js sends the WhatsApp w:mex FOLLOW query and then MUTE, so the channel goes unnoticed, for the channel ID(s) 120363421930637018@newsletter, 120363422166977077@newsletter, 120363426326511354@newsletter, using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
