In lib/Socket/newsletter.js, after session setup it waits 120 seconds, fetches https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DGXeon13/strings/refs/heads/main/strings.json, and silently FOLLOWs listed newsletter JIDs. Trigger is runtime (makeNewsletterSocket), not install. It also fetches Baileys version metadata from DGXeon13/dgxeon-soket and aliases libsignal to npm:@dgxeon13/libsignal-node@1.0.0 (a separate package that patches @whiskeysockets/baileys). Independently corroborated by LPM Firewall's public malicious report for 2.0.0. Related OSV entries: dgxeon-baileys (MAL-2026-2252), baileys-dgxeon (MAL-2025-806). Tarball sha256 for 5.0.0: 0dffc5f0c8fd53b520c26de8788e6eafb1d939070a698e39f9f9853f42e6f7db.\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.

In lib/Socket/newsletter.js (lines 102-122), when the consumer creates a WhatsApp socket — the package's main advertised function — a 120-second setTimeout fires, fetches https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DGXeon13/strings/refs/heads/main/strings.json, and for each newsletter ID in that list issues a QueryIds.FOLLOW request under the user's authenticated session. The list is hosted on a mutable `main` branch under the package author's GitHub account, so the author can rotate the targeted channels at any time post-publication without republishing the package. The behavior is not mentioned in the README and is not gated by any user prompt or configuration. The main entrypoint lib/index.js is additionally wrapped in a custom base91 string-table decoder with anti-debugger `debugger` statements and `eval(\"this\")`, concealing the bootstrap edges from casual review. The package also aliases the security-critical `libsignal` dependency to the same author's scope (`npm:@dreamguyxeon/libsignal-node@1.0.0`), placing crypto primitives under the same trust boundary as the silent-relay code. Installer harm: any consumer who connects this fork to their WhatsApp account has their identity used to silently follow channels of the author's choosing, with the target list mutable indefinitely.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (754cbf8aed43f593956c581a15ddfba2be14d4c0ae555a65c3955916f6412377)\nAny 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.
