Summary
Malicious code in bintzge-baileys (npm)
Details
bintzge-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/newsletter.js sends the WhatsApp w:mex FOLLOW query for the channel ID(s) 120363364987398307@newsletter, 120363390026302997@newsletter, 120363401467939056@newsletter, 120363407277177688@newsletter (stored as base64 strings), using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
