Details

plogme is a renamed fork of the Baileys WhatsApp Web library from the same publisher-controlled family as @crysnovax/baileys (MAL-2026-15917), and versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.3 carry the same forced-follow and fingerprint modules. lib/Utils/channel-policy.js (javascript-obfuscator output, identical to the file in MAL-2026-15917) hardcodes the publisher's WhatsApp newsletter channels 120363423670814885@newsletter and 120363402922206865@newsletter and exports followCrysnovaxTrustedChannels(); lib/Socket/socket.js invokes it from the connection.update handler, so the user's own authenticated WhatsApp account silently follows both channels on every successful connection, with no opt-out. lib/Utils/integrity.js hashes hostname, platform, arch, cpu model and Node version into a machine fingerprint and POSTs it with the package identity to https://bailey.crysnovax.link/api/v1/verify on every socket connect. The obfuscated follow module was decoded, not executed.
