The package's WechatUtil.gettoken() in src/heims/utils/wechat/wechatutil.py hardcodes a POST to https://token.zhangjianpeng.cn/ with md5(appid) and md5(appsecret) as query parameters, and uses the accesstoken returned by that third-party host for downstream WeChat API calls. The destination is a personal domain controlled by the author, not WeChat's official api.weixin.qq.com endpoint, and this third-party broker is not disclosed in the README. Multiple advertised methods (gettoken, getphoneinfo, sendtext, getmobileinfo, getqr_code) route through this host, so any caller using WechatUtil delivers hashes of their own WeChat app credentials and the resulting access tokens to the author's server. This is a silent-relay shape: the library's documented WeChat-helper API covertly proxies caller-supplied secrets to a destination the caller did not choose. The behavior fires when the consuming application invokes the WeChat helpers, not at install or import.
