Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A video thumbnail helper constructs a shell command from input paths and parameters and runs it with exec. Shell metacharacters in those values could cause unintended command execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T20:00:36.075Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T20:01:15.885Z - **Download time:** 1022 ms - **Static scan time:** 4291 ms - **AI review time:** 34496 ms - **Total time:** 39810 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:** A video thumbnail helper constructs a shell command from input paths and parameters and runs it with exec. Shell metacharacters in those values could cause unintended command execution. - **Trigger:** A caller reaches video thumbnail extraction with attacker-controlled path or parameter values. - **Impact:** Potential command execution with the privileges of the process running the library; exploitability depends on whether untrusted input can reach the helper. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T20:01:15.885Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The helper interpolates time, input path, dimensions, and destination path into a command string without escaping, then passes it to exec. - **Rationale:** The install hook only checks the Node.js version, and the protocol data and WhatsApp endpoint align with the package’s stated library role. The unescaped shell command in video thumbnail processing presents a real but condition-dependent risk, so warn without blocking publication. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The preinstall hook runs a Node.js version check that exits on versions below 20., Video thumbnail processing interpolates media paths and parameters into a shell command passed to exec, creating a command-injection risk if those values contain shell syntax., The flagged constants file contains WhatsApp binary protocol tokens, and the oversized WAProto file imports protobufjs runtime helpers. - **Evidence against:** The package entrypoint exports a WhatsApp socket library and protocol utilities., The default network origin is web.whatsapp.com, consistent with the package’s WhatsApp client purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @astracode/byles-new@0.1.37. - Review the evidence and your use of @astracode/byles-new@0.1.37 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
