diezyyasha-baileysnpm
Advisory published Updated
diezyyasha-baileys is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13443) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 8.6.57, 8.6.58, 8.6.59…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in diezyyasha-baileys (npm)
What this malware does
diezyyasha-baileys is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library that contains an obfuscated network destination in lib/Socket/messages-send.js. At lines 425 and 436 the code constructs a URL via String.fromCharCode(104,116,116,112,115,58,47,47,102,105,111,114,97,46,110,105,120,101,108,46,109,121,46,105,100,47) which decodes to https://fiora.nixel.my.id/ — a hardcoded third-party host reconstructed from a char-code array rather than a plain string. This destination is embedded inside the message-sending code path of a WhatsApp session library, where the caller has already provided authenticated session credentials and where message content, contacts, and session identifiers are handled. The obfuscated-destination pattern (char-code reconstruction) inside a wallet/messaging-session code path is the exfiltration fingerprint: a first-party integration would use a plain, configurable URL, not a fromCharCode-reconstructed hardcoded host in a fork of an upstream library.
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.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for diezyyasha-baileys (13 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
diezyyasha-baileys is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If diezyyasha-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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks diezyyasha-baileys-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
