Description

Hello GitHub Advisory Team,

I am writing regarding advisory GHSA-j2h4-4g8c-mqh9 for the package @sahril2nd/baileys.

  1. The package was originally forked from an upstream repository and published without awareness of the injected malicious payload.
  2. The package has been completely unpublished and deleted from the NPM registry.
  3. All related public repositories have been taken down/secured.

I would like to request an update/clarification in the advisory note stating that the package has been permanently unpublished and removed by the author, and is no longer distributed.

Thank you for your assistance.
