Summary
Malicious code in @ubedsockets/baileys (npm)
Details

Malicious package. @ubedsockets/baileys is a trojanized fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library (@whiskeysockets/baileys). On connection it issues an authenticated w:mex newsletter FOLLOW mutation (query_id 7871414976211147) that silently subscribes every victim to attacker-controlled WhatsApp channels — hardcoded newsletter JIDs: 120363410154606795@newsletter, 120363423295236859@newsletter. Legitimate Baileys never hardcodes a channel JID or auto-follows on connect; all published versions are malicious. Detected by wormsign static analysis of the injected channel-subscription code.
