MAL-2026-10661: Malicious code in sauruslord-baileys (npm)
The npm package sauruslord-baileys versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2 contains malicious code or depends on a component with malicious code. Installation or execution of this package can lead to full compromise of the affected system. Secrets and keys stored on the compromised system should be rotated immediately from a different, secure machine. Removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced by it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The npm package sauruslord-baileys in versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2 has been identified as containing malicious code or relying on a malicious dependency. This malicious code can fully compromise any computer where the package is installed or running. The compromise includes potential unauthorized access to secrets and keys stored on the system. Due to the severity of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package does not guarantee removal of all malicious components. Immediate secret rotation from a secure environment is recommended.
Potential Impact
Systems with the affected versions of sauruslord-baileys installed are considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control over the system, including access to all stored secrets and keys. This level of compromise can lead to data theft, unauthorized system control, and further spread of malicious activity. The presence of malicious code in the package means that the integrity and confidentiality of the affected system cannot be trusted.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the sauruslord-baileys package versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system from a separate, secure machine. Because full system compromise is likely, consider rebuilding the affected systems from trusted backups or reinstalling the operating system to ensure complete removal of malicious software. No official patch or fix is available; remediation relies on removal and secret rotation.
