Description
The npm package @nyzzpedia/baileys-new version 1.0.0 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 by issuing an authenticated FOLLOW query using the victim's own session. The target channels are obfuscated or dynamically fetched, allowing attackers to change targets post-installation. This behavior does not steal credentials, maintain persistence, or execute arbitrary code.
