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 default anti-ban wrapper provides a dual-use capability that may help automated messaging evade platform restrictions, so a warning is appropriate. The install hook is a Node.js version check, and the inspected code does not establish a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T11:25:06.896Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T11:30:02.995Z - **Download time:** 750 ms - **Static scan time:** 6352 ms - **AI review time:** 288996 ms - **Total time:** 296099 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 default socket wrapper includes anti-ban behavior intended to reduce the chance of messaging restrictions. This creates a dual-use platform-evasion concern, but no concrete attack was established. - **Trigger:** Creating a socket without setting antiban to false. - **Impact:** It may help automated messaging continue while avoiding platform enforcement. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/index.js, lib/antiban.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T11:30:02.995Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The wrapper tracks connection and message events and applies message-rate limits and delays. - **Rationale:** The default anti-ban wrapper provides a dual-use capability that may help automated messaging evade platform restrictions, so a warning is appropriate. The install hook is a Node.js version check, and the inspected code does not establish a concrete attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/antiban.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The socket enables its aggressive anti-ban wrapper by default, with an option to disable it., The wrapper observes connection and message events and applies anti-ban handling., The anti-ban defaults limit message rates and add delays, supporting a platform-enforcement-evasion concern., The handler invokes the selected command’s execute function with a context object. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only checks the Node.js version and exits when it is below the required version., Automatic replies are disabled by default. No unrelated credential recipient or confirmed attack was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dcloude/baileys@0.0.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @dcloude/baileys@0.0.9 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.
