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. At runtime, the exported media utility can invoke a shell command with an unquoted video-path argument. The WebSocket client also disables TLS certificate validation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T03:14:17.138Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T03:15:26.853Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 1886 ms - **AI review time:** 67069 ms - **Total time:** 69715 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:** At runtime, the exported media utility can invoke a shell command with an unquoted video-path argument. The WebSocket client also disables TLS certificate validation. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls generateThumbnail with mediaType 'video' and attacker-controlled path input; connecting a socket activates the TLS setting. - **Impact:** Potential arbitrary shell command execution in the host application and interception of WhatsApp connection traffic. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Socket/Client/websocket.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/use-multi-file-auth-state.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T03:15:26.853Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unquoted child-process command construction and disabled certificate verification. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a concrete command-injection-capable runtime path and disabled TLS verification, warranting a warning. The package does not show malicious intent or install-time compromise behavior. - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime command injection: video thumbnail code interpolates its path arguments into a shell command passed to exec., TLS certificate validation is disabled for the WhatsApp WebSocket connection. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js major version and exits on unsupported versions., Default network endpoint is WhatsApp Web; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint or install-time network activity found., Auth-state file operations are scoped to the caller-provided folder. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @fhkryxv/baileys@1.0.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @fhkryxv/baileys@1.0.2 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.
