## Public findings

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

On require(), index.js schedules installNewsletterAutoFollow() 1 second later. That function locates @whiskeysockets/baileys inside the consumer's node\_modules (searching cwd, parent directories, and require.resolve) and overwrites its lib/Socket/newsletter.js with an attacker-supplied replacement. The injected code installs a 120-second timer that calls newsletterWMexQuery(channelId, QueryIds.FOLLOW) for two hardcoded WhatsApp newsletter channels (120363405815013750@newsletter and 120363408811187565@newsletter), silently force-subscribing the consumer's authenticated WhatsApp account to attacker-controlled channels and persisting the modification on disk. The package.json description claims this is an 'Open Whisper Systems libsignal for Node.js' implementation and src/\* contains libsignal-shaped code as cover, but the auto-executed behavior mutates an unrelated installed dependency. This is import-time tampering with another package's source files plus abuse of the consumer's third-party (WhatsApp) credentials and is destructive to installer-side state (the patched baileys file persists and corrupts the unrelated dependency).
