No install-time mutation, remote payload execution, or credential exfiltration was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T22:13:26.598Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T22:14:42.058Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 9945 ms - **AI review time:** 65005 ms - **Total time:** 75460 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** At runtime, obfuscated outbound-message code automatically adds a media annotation to selected message content. No install-time mutation, remote payload execution, or credential exfiltration was confirmed. - **Trigger:** Consumer constructs affected outbound media messages. - **Impact:** Undisclosed message-content modification and difficult-to-audit behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/messages.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T22:14:42.058Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated automatic outbound media-metadata insertion. - **Rationale:** The hidden runtime mutation warrants a warning, but source inspection did not establish the concrete malicious chain required for a publish block. - **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/messages.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Core outbound-message module is deliberately string-obfuscated., It silently applies a fixed media annotation during media-message construction., This is hidden behavior in a public library entrypoint, although no payload execution or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks the running Node major version., No eval, dynamic code loading, credential harvesting, or non-WhatsApp exfiltration was found., Network calls inspected are WhatsApp/media/version-related library functions. ## Public findings ### 1.
