critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443063
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Baileys is a cocket-based TS/JavaScript API for WhatsApp Web. In versions prior to both 6.7.22 and
7.0.0-rc12, any Baileys session can be sent a malicious payload via the placeholderResendMessage and
trigger a fake messages.upsert event with a fake message key and payload. This allows anyone to spoof
messages. The same exploit also allows an attacker to corrupt the app state sync system by sending fake
key shares, and also allows for history sync spoofing which also serves the same problem, injecting fake
previous context or "on-demand" sync. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.7.22 and 7.0.0-rc12.
