Description

The npm package @zannstore/baileys contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or run. The presence of this package indicates a full system compromise, and all secrets and keys stored on the affected machine should be rotated immediately from a separate, secure device. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software introduced by it.
