## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

saturn-bail is a Baileys-derivative WhatsApp library that, on every \`makeWASocket()\` call, schedules a 90-second timer which executes \`newsletterWMexQuery("120363329486691279@newsletter", QueryIds.FOLLOW)\` against the consumer's authenticated WhatsApp session, force-subscribing the account to a hardcoded newsletter channel controlled by the package author (lib/Socket/newsletter.js:104-110). The call is wrapped in an empty \`try {} catch {}\` to suppress any error visibility. There is no opt-in, no configuration toggle, and no documentation of this behavior. Any developer or downstream end-user whose WhatsApp account is paired through a bot built on this library is silently enrolled into following the author's channel, inflating the author's subscriber count using third-party identities. The package additionally ships a \`reqPairing\` helper (lib/Socket/chats.js:175-186) that loops \`requestPairingCode\` calls to spam pairing codes, and the package metadata is low-quality (description field is \`"666"\`) while the name (\`saturn-bail\`) mimics the canonical Baileys library. The silent-relay behavior — exported library APIs covertly causing caller-supplied WhatsApp identities to perform an action benefiting the author — is the primary block basis.

\#\# Source: ghsa-malware (d4d0236b44d64bb2980ed8802de6226780ed78616fecdea591494fdf1fb8b8eb) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
