High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% npm/my-auto-follow is a Baileys WhatsApp Web API fork that embeds undisclosed, remote-controlled consentless newsletter auto-follow behavior. In lib/Socket/newsletter.js, after a session is established the code waits 120 seconds, fetches a JSON list of WhatsApp newsletter JIDs from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DGXeon13/strings/refs/heads/main/strings.json (attacker-controlled; observed contents include newsletter JIDs), and silently issues newsletterWMexQuery(..., QueryIds.FOLLOW) for each entry with errors swallowed. There is no caller opt-in. Trigger is runtime (makeNewsletterSocket / normal socket path), not install: preinstall only checks Node \>= 20. The package also depends on libsignal via the npm alias npm:@dreamguyxeon/libsignal-node@1.0.1 (separate malicious patcher reported alongside this entry). Related DGXeon campaign packages already in OSV include dgxeon-baileys (MAL-2026-2252) and baileys-dgxeon (MAL-2025-806). Tarball sha256 for 1.0.3: 1332d396a2251692c2654fca52620a433a880551500a567ade040e8f01440e68. --- \#\# Source: amazon-inspector (481bdecc52b4f32afcfd2e6755ef8c74191cc0010714a0403aa93d1bd958369b) my-auto-follow is a Baileys WhatsApp library fork whose \`makeWASocket\` newsletter socket schedules an undocumented setTimeout (120s after socket creation) that fetches a remote JSON list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DGXeon13/strings/refs/heads/main/strings.json and unconditionally force-follows every channel ID in that list via \`newsletterWMexQuery(id, QueryIds.FOLLOW)\` (lib/Socket/newsletter.js lines 100-122). The fetched list is hosted on a mutable branch under the package author's GitHub account and can be changed at any time without republishing the package. There is no opt-in, no documentation, and no user prompt. Any developer who uses this library to power a WhatsApp bot will have their authenticated WhatsApp account silently issue FOLLOW commands to whatever channel IDs the author chooses to publish — abusing the installer's WhatsApp identity for the author's social-graph manipulation. The behavior matches the package name \`my-auto-follow\` but is never disclosed to the consumer. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall, prepare - **Dependencies:** 19 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 4 - **Development dependencies:** 20 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 23 ### Published dependency entries - @adiwajshing/keyed-db ^0.2.4 (Dependency) - @cacheable/node-cache ^1.4.0 (Dependency) - @hapi/boom ^9.1.3 (Dependency) - async-mutex ^0.5.0 (Dependency) - audio-decode ^2.1.3 (Dependency) - axios ^1.3.3 (Dependency) - cache-manager 4.0.1 (Dependency) - chalk ^4.1.2 (Dependency) - futoin-hkdf ^1.5.1 (Dependency) - libphonenumber-js ^1.10.20 (Dependency) - libsignal npm:@dgxeon13/libsignal-node@1.0.0 (Dependency) - lodash ^4.17.21 (Dependency) - music-metadata ^7.12.3 (Dependency) - node-cache ^5.1.2 (Dependency) - node-fetch ^2.6.1 (Dependency) - pino ^7.0.0 (Dependency) - protobufjs ^7.2.4 (Dependency) - uuid ^9.0.0 (Dependency) - ws ^8.13.0 (Dependency) - jimp ^0.16.1 (PeerDependency) - link-preview-js ^3.0.0 (PeerDependency) - qrcode-terminal ^0.12.0 (PeerDependency) - sharp ^0.32.2 (PeerDependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** my-auto-follow - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-14T05:36:11.187Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-03T13:40:19.017Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-14T15:05:06.912Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 1.0.3 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** customised baileys by Telegram @dgxeon13 - **Author:** dgxeon13 - **Maintainers:** dreamguyxeon - **Keywords:** whatsapp, uwu, baileys, whatsapp-web, whatsapp-chat, whatsapp-group, botwa, bot - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=20.0.0 - **Artifact files:** 194 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 10,000,516 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [ADVISORY]() - [WEB]() - [PACKAGE]()
