Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. The install hook checks the runtime version; the reviewed network reporting sends alerts to configured destinations. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the Node.js version check; alert reporting requires use of the antiban reporting feature. - **Impact:** No malicious install-time mutation or credential exfiltration was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T03:22:59.914Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The version check exits on Node.js versions below 20. The antiban module posts alert data to configured webhook URLs or a configured Telegram bot. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle hook only enforces a Node.js version requirement, and the flagged source matches protocol and protobuf data. The optional webhook behavior is configured alert reporting; no concrete attack surface was established. - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json limits its preinstall hook to engine-requirements.js; prepare and prepack are empty., engine-requirements.js only checks the Node.js version and exits when it is below 20., The flagged string in lib/WABinary/constants.js appears among WhatsApp binary protocol tokens, not in a credential-sending operation., WAProto/index.js starts with protobuf serialization setup., The antiban module sends alert payloads to configured webhook URLs or Telegram when its reporting feature is used. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lendxntaa/baileys@0.0.7. - Avoid installing @lendxntaa/baileys@0.0.7. 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.
