It also sends a stable host-derived fingerprint to the vendor for remote revocation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T14:59:48.613Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T15:00:47.775Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 2591 ms - **AI review time:** 56058 ms - **Total time:** 59162 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On authentication, the library silently follows package-chosen WhatsApp newsletter channels. It also sends a stable host-derived fingerprint to the vendor for remote revocation. - **Trigger:** A consumer opens an authenticated WhatsApp socket using the library. - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of the user's WhatsApp account and host-derived telemetry disclosure. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Utils/channel-policy.js, lib/Utils/integrity.js, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T15:00:47.775Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic account subscription plus remote fingerprint attestation - **Attack narrative:** After a WhatsApp connection opens, the base socket invokes an obfuscated trusted-channel policy that issues newsletter FOLLOW requests and persists a marker in credentials. The same event initiates a vendor attestation request containing package name, version, and a hash derived from hostname, OS, architecture, CPU model, and Node version. The vendor can return a revocation state that disables features. - **Rationale:** This contains concrete, unconsented runtime account mutation and host-fingerprint exfiltration, not merely package-aligned WhatsApp functionality. The install hook is local-only but does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Utils/channel-policy.js, lib/Utils/integrity.js - **Network endpoints:** https://bailey.crysnovax.link/api/v1/verify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Authenticated sockets automatically follow package-selected trusted channels., The follow policy is obfuscated and records a completion marker in WhatsApp credentials., Runtime hashes host and CPU attributes, then POSTs the fingerprint and package version to a vendor endpoint., The remote response can revoke premium functionality. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks Node/package identity locally; no network or foreign file mutation., Media network and child-process use is feature-aligned. ## Public findings ### 1.
