Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package performs an automatic, publisher-selected authenticated account action during ordinary socket setup. The preinstall hook is a Node version check, but it does not alter the confirmed runtime behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T12:38:20.263Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T12:39:29.778Z - **Download time:** 1281 ms - **Static scan time:** 1716 ms - **AI review time:** 66517 ms - **Total time:** 69515 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Socket creation schedules automatic follows of nine publisher-selected WhatsApp newsletters. This changes the authenticated account's subscriptions without a caller request. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls the exported makeWASocket constructor and the socket is created. - **Impact:** The account follows newsletters without the user's explicit selection. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/registration.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Types/Newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T12:39:29.778Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A timer waits 90 seconds, then sends follow queries for hard-coded newsletter IDs. - **Attack narrative:** Using the package's exported socket constructor reaches code that schedules a follow operation after 90 seconds. It sends follow queries for nine hard-coded newsletter IDs without user selection or consent, causing an unauthorized change to the account's subscriptions. - **Rationale:** The package performs an automatic, publisher-selected authenticated account action during ordinary socket setup. The preinstall hook is a Node version check, but it does not alter the confirmed runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/registration.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Types/Newsletter.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The exported socket constructor reaches the newsletter socket during normal socket creation, activating its delayed callback., After 90 seconds, the callback submits follow queries for nine hard-coded newsletter IDs without caller selection or consent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @animebails/baileys@1.0.3. - Avoid installing @animebails/baileys@1.0.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
