Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. On every successful socket connection, the package automatically follows a hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter using the user's connected account. This is an unrequested account action toward a publisher-chosen target, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T12:11:28.023Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T12:12:01.749Z - **Download time:** 1519 ms - **Static scan time:** 1582 ms - **AI review time:** 30624 ms - **Total time:** 33726 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatically follows a publisher-chosen WhatsApp newsletter using the connected account. - **Trigger:** A created socket receives a connection-open event. - **Impact:** The user's WhatsApp account is made to follow a channel they did not request. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T12:12:01.749Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** After a three-second delay, the socket calls newsletterFollow with a hard-coded newsletter ID; the method sends a join request. - **Attack narrative:** When a WhatsApp socket connects, the package schedules a follow action for newsletter 120363428626908481@newsletter. The newsletter method submits a join request using the connected account. This runs by default on connection, without an explicit user request. - **Rationale:** On every successful socket connection, the package automatically follows a hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter using the user's connected account. This is an unrequested account action toward a publisher-chosen target, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook runs a Node.js version check; its script exits only when Node is older than 20., Creating a socket registers a handler that schedules an action after the connection opens, once per socket., The handler follows the hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter 120363428626908481@newsletter without an explicit follow request., newsletterFollow sends a WhatsApp join request for the supplied newsletter ID. - **Evidence against:** The package is a customized WhatsApp automation library, so it legitimately creates WhatsApp sockets and exposes newsletter operations., The install hook only checks the Node.js version. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ndikagantengg/baileys@7.0.7. - Avoid installing @ndikagantengg/baileys@7.0.7. 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.
