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 runtime-exported utility can upload arbitrary caller-provided buffers to anonymous third-party hosts. It is not invoked during installation or ordinary package initialization. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T08:36:37.155Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T08:37:29.151Z - **Download time:** 1006 ms - **Static scan time:** 3809 ms - **AI review time:** 47178 ms - **Total time:** 51996 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 runtime-exported utility can upload arbitrary caller-provided buffers to anonymous third-party hosts. It is not invoked during installation or ordinary package initialization. - **Trigger:** A consumer explicitly calls uploadFile with a buffer. - **Impact:** Caller-provided media or data can leave the application through an unrelated file host. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T08:37:29.151Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Multi-host arbitrary buffer upload. - **Rationale:** The package has no malicious install hook or automatic exfiltration path, but it exposes an undocumented utility that uploads arbitrary buffers to unrelated public hosts. This warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** catbox.moe, scdn.pdi.moe, qu.ax, uguu.se, tmpfiles.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The exported uploadFile utility sends its caller-supplied buffer to anonymous third-party file hosts., It tries several unrelated upload services until one accepts the data., This upload capability has no internal call site or README documentation, leaving its intended use unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only rejects Node versions below 20., No lifecycle code downloads, executes, or modifies project files., The normal WhatsApp media uploader is separate and uses WhatsApp-provided hosts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chatunity/baileys@3.0.13. - Review the evidence and your use of @chatunity/baileys@3.0.13 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.
