Summary

Malicious code in @zetagoaurum-socket/wasocket (npm)

Details

@zetagoaurum-socket/wasocket is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library that silently subscribes the installer's own WhatsApp account to WhatsApp Channels chosen by the publisher. When the socket connects, code in lib/Socket/newsletter.js sends the WhatsApp w:mex FOLLOW query for a list downloaded at runtime from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zacky-Tzy/ChBail/main/ch.json, using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
