OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-12108 confirms this npm version as malicious. This package is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library. lib/Socket/messages-send.js constructs a network destination 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/...

Details
This package is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library. lib/Socket/messages-send.js constructs a network destination 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/. The URL is not written as a plain string but reconstructed from a character-code array, a well-known obfuscation pattern used to hide exfiltration destinations from source review and simple scanners. The host fiora.nixel.my.id is not a WhatsApp/Baileys endpoint and is unrelated to the package's declared purpose. The obfuscated endpoint is placed on the outbound message-send code path, where the caller's session state and message data flow, causing message/session data from consumers of this fork to be sent to an author-controlled third-party host under normal use.
