WhatsApp Baileys Library Modification to make it easier for developers to develop for anything
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically uses the user’s connected WhatsApp account to follow two hard-coded newsletters on connection. Under the account-action rule, an opt-out does not make publisher-selected follows user-requested.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A caller creates a socket with default configuration and the WhatsApp connection opens.
Impact
Changes the user’s WhatsApp account by following channels the user did not choose.
Mechanism
The default auto-follow list contains two fixed newsletter JIDs; a connection event sends follow requests for each unless the caller disables or replaces the list.
Attack narrative
When a socket connects, the package automatically follows two hard-coded WhatsApp newsletters through the user’s account. The behavior is disabled only if the caller opts out or replaces the default channel list, so it performs publisher-chosen account actions without an explicit request.
AI rationale
The package automatically uses the user’s connected WhatsApp account to follow two hard-coded newsletters on connection. Under the account-action rule, an opt-out does not make publisher-selected follows user-requested.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 97.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The default socket configuration names two hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter JIDs to auto-follow.
- On the first successful connection, the package follows every configured channel unless the caller opts out or overrides the list.
- The follow calls run automatically from the connection event, using the socket’s WhatsApp account.
Evidence against
- The preinstall hook only checks whether Node.js is version 20 or newer and exits if not.
- GraphQL helpers send tokens to WhatsApp first-party endpoints for account features; no unrelated credential destination was identified.
