Malicious code in @bellaxchan/eleventech (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 0.0.8`

@bellaxchan/eleventech is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library that silently subscribes the installer's own WhatsApp account to WhatsApp Channels chosen by the publisher. When the socket connects, code in lib/Socket/newsletter.js sends the WhatsApp w:mex FOLLOW query for the channel ID(s) 120363431475943819@newsletter (stored base64-encoded), using the victim's authenticated session and without telling them. Same behaviour as the PhantomSub family (MAL-2026-17342).
