Websocket Whatsapp API for Node.js

AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Creating the package socket schedules a concealed remote configuration fetch. That configuration causes the authenticated WhatsApp account to follow remotely supplied newsletters.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Application code creates a WhatsApp socket through the package.

Impact

An attacker-controlled endpoint can make the user's authenticated account follow arbitrary WhatsApp newsletters.

Mechanism

Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follows.

Attack narrative

At runtime, socket construction reaches the newsletter socket and invokes loadBase. It waits 80 seconds, decodes and fetches a GitHub-hosted JSON resource, then iterates its entries. Each entry supplies an id to a WhatsApp MEX query using the FOLLOW query identifier. The code suppresses errors and does not require the application to request this behavior, making the remote endpoint a controller for unauthorized actions on the authenticated account.

Rationale

The package contains a concealed, remote-controlled runtime action that automatically follows arbitrary WhatsApp newsletters from the user's authenticated account. This is concrete unauthorized behavior rather than package-aligned media or socket functionality.
