Description
The npm package @fhkryxv/baileys-new version 0.3.22 is a malicious fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library. It injects code that silently subscribes the victim's WhatsApp account to attacker-controlled channels without user consent. The target channels are obfuscated or dynamically fetched, allowing attackers to change subscription targets after installation. This malicious behavior does not steal credentials, maintain persistence, or execute arbitrary code remotely.
