Which versions of tr4shxsuit are malicious?

The following npm versions of tr4shxsuit are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate tr4shxsuit if I installed it?

Remove tr4shxsuit 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 tr4shxsuit — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If tr4shxsuit 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.

How do I find tr4shxsuit across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tr4shxsuit (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

tr4shxsuit 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 for the channel ID(s) 120363420249672073@newsletter, 120363424020283759@newsletter (stored as base64 strings), using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
