Two of its source files, lib/Socket/chats.js (~140 KB) and lib/Socket/dugong.js (~96 KB), use a custom base85-style string-array plus per-function decoder scheme to obfuscate their contents. After decoding, the logic corresponds to ordinary Baileys chats-socket operations and WhatsApp message-format builders (payment, product, interactive, album, event, poll). The preinstall script only performs a Node.js version gate and the main entry is a library factory with no top-level side effects. No hardcoded attacker-controlled endpoints, remote code fetch, credential or home-directory reads, browser/wallet secret access, silent-relay of caller data, or lifecycle-time execution of external content are present. The package name suggests an 'auto-follow' behavior that could act with the connected WhatsApp account's identity, but no such covert action is observable in the visible code paths, and the obfuscation of a Baileys fork is an unusual authorship/transparency signal on its own.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (45770007693536ebd250ec1fd0cfd32f539866ac842fddf6b3cf613a493fb4d3)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
