AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms that socket creation activates an automatic follow of a hardcoded channel when the connection opens. This is a publisher-selected account action, so the package should be blocked.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The package entrypoint exports the socket factory used to create WhatsApp connections.
- Creating a socket unconditionally registers the automatic follow behavior.
- When the connection opens, the handler schedules a follow and calls the account action with a fixed channel ID.
- The fixed channel is embedded in the package and does not depend on the caller’s configuration.
