It also reports a derived machine fingerprint to a remote operator verifier. - **Trigger:** Opening an authenticated WhatsApp socket. - **Impact:** It changes the user's newsletter subscriptions without an explicit request and exposes stable device-derived telemetry to the operator. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/channel-policy.js, lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Utils/integrity.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T22:07:55.257Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Socket connection handling calls an obfuscated trusted-channel follower and starts remote attestation. - **Attack narrative:** After authentication, the socket handler automatically joins hard-coded newsletter channels and records completion in credentials. The channel policy is deliberately obfuscated. In the same connection path, remote attestation sends package metadata and a device-derived fingerprint to the maintainer endpoint, allowing remote revocation decisions. These hidden, operator-directed actions are unrelated to ordinary WhatsApp socket functionality. - **Rationale:** This is active, unconsented account manipulation combined with obfuscated policy code and remote device telemetry. The behavior is concrete and executes during normal authenticated use. - **Network endpoints:** https://bailey.crysnovax.link/api/v1/verify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs a preinstall script., An obfuscated module contains a hard-coded newsletter identifier and implements an automatic follow function., On every authenticated socket connection, the package invokes that follow function using WhatsApp's newsletter-follow query., The connection also sends the package name, version, and a derived machine fingerprint to the operator's remote verifier. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall script only checks the Node version and package identity; no install-time file mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to plogme@1.0.6. - Avoid installing plogme@1.0.6. 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.
