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. Importing this library silently patches a separate Baileys dependency. The injected replacement obtains a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs and follows them using the application's authenticated socket. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-21T10:40:14.566Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-21T10:41:37.064Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 236 ms - **AI review time:** 81497 ms - **Total time:** 82498 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The injected replacement obtains a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs and follows them using the application's authenticated socket. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports the package's main entrypoint. - **Impact:** The package alters a foreign dependency and causes unconsented actions by the consumer's authenticated WhatsApp client. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, install.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-21T10:41:37.064Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** index.js schedules installNewsletterAutoFollow, which replaces @whiskeysockets/baileys/lib/Socket/newsletter.js. The replacement fetches channel IDs from raw.githubusercontent.com and issues FOLLOW requests. - **Attack narrative:** On import, the package waits one second and replaces Baileys's newsletter socket source. That replacement downloads channel IDs from an external GitHub URL and follows each one through the consumer's authenticated WhatsApp connection. This is concealed dependency tampering and remote-controlled unconsented account activity. - **Rationale:** This package embeds an import-time backdoor that overwrites a foreign dependency and remotely directs authenticated newsletter follows. The absence of an npm lifecycle script does not remove the concrete import-time attack path. - **Files touched:** index.js, install.js, @whiskeysockets/baileys/lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DGXeon13/strings/refs/heads/main/strings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The declared main entrypoint is index.js, so this behavior runs when the package is imported., Importing the entrypoint schedules the hidden newsletter patch automatically., The patch overwrites Baileys's newsletter.js with package-controlled code., Injected code fetches operator-controlled channel identifiers and follows each channel automatically. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts; the behavior is activated on import instead. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dreamguyxeon/libsignal-node@1.0.2. - Avoid installing @dreamguyxeon/libsignal-node@1.0.2. 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.
