Is @jexkcode/baileys safe?
Versions 1.3.0, 1.1.4, 1.2.0 and 1.1.5 of @jexkcode/baileys were flagged as malicious by CyberXYZ cross-signal detection (automatic), not yet confirmed. Other versions are not flagged. npm's latest tag points to 1.3.0, one of these versions, so an unpinned install gets it.
Do not install @jexkcode/baileys 1.3.0, 1.1.4, 1.2.0 or 1.1.5
