Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package automatically subscribes the connected WhatsApp account to remotely selected newsletters. This is active, unconsented account manipulation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T13:26:12.687Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T13:31:12.591Z - **Download time:** 1035 ms - **Static scan time:** 9871 ms - **AI review time:** 288997 ms - **Total time:** 299904 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:** The package automatically subscribes the connected WhatsApp account to remotely selected newsletters. This is active, unconsented account manipulation. - **Trigger:** Creating the exported WhatsApp socket and opening an authenticated connection. - **Impact:** The remote list controller can cause unwanted newsletter subscriptions on the user's account. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/index.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T13:31:12.591Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A connection listener fetches an encoded GitHub URL, reads channel identifiers, and issues follow requests through the authenticated socket without an opt-in gate. - **Attack narrative:** Normal socket creation activates a newsletter connection listener. When the connection opens, it downloads a remote list and automatically follows each valid newsletter identifier using the user's authenticated WhatsApp session. The encoded destination and unconditional activation conceal account changes that the caller did not request. - **Rationale:** The source establishes automatic, remotely directed account manipulation through the active socket, beyond ordinary user-invoked newsletter functionality. This concrete behavior supports blocking even without evidence of secret theft. - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Denzy-Lawrence/anu/refs/heads/main/anu.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The active newsletter socket fetches a base64-hidden remote channel list automatically when the connection opens., Remote list entries are submitted as channel follow requests without a consent flag or explicit user command., The message socket constructs the newsletter socket, making the automatic behavior reachable through normal socket creation., The declared main entrypoint exports the WhatsApp socket used by this construction chain. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall script only checks the Node.js version., The inspected follow behavior does not establish credential theft or remote code execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @celestial-community/baileys@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @celestial-community/baileys@1.0.0. 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.
