It retrieves remote-controlled identifiers during connection setup and also schedules concealed follows. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T13:54:47.419Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T13:56:08.795Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 7701 ms - **AI review time:** 72632 ms - **Total time:** 81376 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package covertly performs delayed newsletter-related actions through the connected WhatsApp account. It retrieves remote-controlled identifiers during connection setup and also schedules concealed follows. - **Trigger:** Opening a WhatsApp socket or initializing its newsletter socket. - **Impact:** A consumer's WhatsApp account can interact with attacker-selected newsletter targets without consent. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T13:56:08.795Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote configuration and delayed unauthorized MEX newsletter actions. - **Attack narrative:** When a consumer connects, the socket decodes and fetches a GitHub-hosted JSON configuration, then schedules WhatsApp MEX requests for its supplied newsletter IDs. Separately, newsletter initialization decodes three hidden targets and invokes the follow query after a delay. These actions are concealed, automatic, and unrelated to a normal WhatsApp transport library. - **Rationale:** The package contains concealed, automatic account actions driven by a remote endpoint and hidden target identifiers. Its benign install hooks do not remove this runtime attack behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skyzoopedia/NewsletterID/refs/heads/main/VIP\_Push.json, @s.whatsapp.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Connection setup fetches an obfuscated remote JSON file., The fetched values trigger delayed WhatsApp MEX requests without user input., Newsletter initialization schedules hidden follows to three base64-obscured targets. - **Evidence against:** The install hooks only check the Node version and print a banner., No credential-file harvesting or local secret exfiltration was found in the inspected paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
