Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 8.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The sticker conversion helper exposes a concrete command-injection risk through caller-controlled options. Its explicit API trigger supports a warning rather than a finding of package-level malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T03:20:06.103Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T03:20:40.263Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 3761 ms - **AI review time:** 29881 ms - **Total time:** 34160 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:** videoToWebpSticker builds a shell command using caller-provided options and executes it. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes videoToWebpSticker with untrusted fps or seconds values. - **Impact:** Shell metacharacters in those values can execute commands with the package process’s privileges. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/sticker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T03:20:40.263Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The values are interpolated into a command string passed to child\_process.exec without shell-safe argument handling. - **Rationale:** The sticker conversion helper exposes a concrete command-injection risk through caller-controlled options. Its explicit API trigger supports a warning rather than a finding of package-level malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/sticker.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** In lib/Utils/sticker.js, caller-provided fps and seconds values are interpolated into a shell command that is passed to exec, enabling command injection when those options are untrusted., The command runs only when videoToWebpSticker is called; the package manifest exposes lib/index.js and lists no install lifecycle hook., lib/WABinary/constants.js places the flagged API-key-like string among WhatsApp binary protocol tokens, consistent with a token table rather than credential handling. - **Evidence against:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js restricts supplied media URLs to the mmg.whatsapp.net host and otherwise builds the URL from that host., The package manifest’s listed scripts are development utilities and tests, with no install-time execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @badzz88/baileys@8.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @badzz88/baileys@8.5.0 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.
