Summary

This package is a fork of the Baileys WhatsApp library that wires an undocumented routine into the connection lifecycle. On every WhatsApp connection.update where connection === 'open' , after a 30-second delay the library fetches a JSON list of channel IDs from a hardcoded, author-controlled GitHub raw URL on a mutable branch ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxXza/data/refs/heads/main/noxXza.json ) and, for each ID, invokes newsletterFollow followed by newsletterMute on the installer's authenticated WhatsApp account, with randomized shuffling and delay jitter. The behavior is not disclosed in the package README, is not gated behind an opt-in flag, and uses the installer's own WhatsApp identity to perform actions the caller did not request. Because the channel-ID list is served from a mutable main branch, the set of followed accounts can be changed by the author at any time without a package release. Additional helpers in generics.js ( hwaifu() , fetchLatestBaileysVersion() ) also fetch JSON from mutable-branch author-controlled GitHub raw URLs ( raw.githubusercontent.com/ramadanny/... ), but only as data (no code eval) and not auto-invoked at import/install time. No credential theft, environment scraping, install-time code execution, dropper behavior, or backdoor mechanism is present.
