Summary

Malicious code in @zlynzee/baileys (npm)

Details

@zlynzee/baileys is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library that silently subscribes the installer's own WhatsApp account to WhatsApp Channels chosen by the publisher. When the socket connects, code in lib/Socket/index.js sends the WhatsApp w:mex FOLLOW query for the channel ID(s) 120363186130999681@newsletter, 120363420619530273@newsletter, using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
