These actions are not required for the advertised messaging library. - **Trigger:** Opening an authenticated WhatsApp socket after importing and using the library. - **Impact:** Changes the user's WhatsApp account subscriptions and exposes a stable host fingerprint to the package operator. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Utils/integrity.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T12:24:55.830Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden automatic newsletter enrollment and remote device attestation. - **Attack narrative:** The library waits for an authenticated WhatsApp connection, then calls a hidden helper that issues newsletter-follow requests for vendor-selected identifiers and records completion in credentials. In the same connection event it starts remote attestation. That code derives a persistent fingerprint from host and runtime properties, then posts it with package metadata to an operator endpoint. The channel helper is deliberately obfuscated, preventing normal users from readily seeing the automatic account mutation. - **Rationale:** This package performs concealed, non-user-invoked changes to a consumer's WhatsApp account and transmits a stable device fingerprint to its operator. The behavior is automatic at runtime and obscured, so it is concrete malicious behavior rather than ordinary library telemetry. - **Files touched:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/integrity.js, lib/Socket/socket.js - **Network endpoints:** https://bailey.crysnovax.link/api/v1/verify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** On every authenticated WhatsApp connection, the package automatically follows vendor-selected newsletter channels., It collects a stable machine fingerprint from hostname, platform, architecture, CPU model, and Node version., It posts that fingerprint, package name, and version to the operator-controlled verification endpoint., The automatic account action is deliberately hidden in a one-line obfuscated channel-policy module., A preinstall hook automatically executes package code during installation. - **Evidence against:** The inspected preinstall script only checks Node version and package identity; it does not write outside the package or make network requests., The attestation request does not send credentials or authentication files in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to plogme@1.0.5. - Avoid installing plogme@1.0.5. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
