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. When a WhatsApp session connects, the package retrieves a remote channel list and changes that account's newsletter subscriptions. The remote list is not fixed in the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T08:17:40.647Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T08:18:42.824Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 8413 ms - **AI review time:** 52746 ms - **Total time:** 62177 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The remote list is not fixed in the package. - **Trigger:** A consumer application establishes a WhatsApp connection using the package. - **Impact:** Changes the connected user's WhatsApp account state by following attacker-selected channels. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T08:18:42.824Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follow and mute requests. - **Attack narrative:** The newsletter socket registers a connection-open listener. Thirty seconds after a successful connection, it downloads JSON from a GitHub URL, accepts every string ending in @newsletter, and sends WhatsApp newsletter FOLLOW and MUTE queries for each entry. The package author can alter that remote JSON at any time, causing connected users to follow arbitrary channels without their consent. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, remotely controlled and unconsented account-mutation behavior in a WhatsApp library. The benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate the runtime abuse. - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LevviCodeID/Levi4than/refs/heads/main/levvleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** On every successful WhatsApp connection, the package fetches a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs., It automatically follows and then mutes every valid newsletter ID from that list without an application-level opt-in., The remote list can be changed after publication, changing which accounts the connected user follows. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js major version and exits when it is too old., No runtime dependency on this package's own name is declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ikanngeming/ikannbail@1.0.7. - Avoid installing @ikanngeming/ikannbail@1.0.7. 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.
