Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The account is subscribed to newsletters the user did not select. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.0.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. Source inspection confirms a default-on, publisher-selected account action that runs after connection, so this is concrete unauthorized account modification. The closest available threat type is malware; no install-time attack is needed to establish the runtime behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T11:51:35.343Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T11:52:51.832Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 9730 ms - **AI review time:** 66243 ms - **Total time:** 76489 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:** The runtime automatically joins eight publisher-selected WhatsApp newsletters using the user's authenticated session. This changes the user's account without a request to follow those specific newsletters. - **Trigger:** Creating the normal socket and receiving an open connection event, unless autoFollowNewsletters is explicitly set to false. - **Impact:** The account is subscribed to newsletters the user did not select. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/index.js, lib/Defaults/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T11:52:51.832Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A connection handler schedules authenticated FOLLOW requests for hard-coded newsletter IDs. - **Attack narrative:** When the package creates its normal socket and the WhatsApp connection opens, it schedules FOLLOW operations for eight hard-coded newsletters. The behavior is enabled by default and changes the authenticated account's subscriptions without the user choosing those newsletters. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a default-on, publisher-selected account action that runs after connection, so this is concrete unauthorized account modification. The closest available threat type is malware; no install-time attack is needed to establish the runtime behavior. - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js enables automatic newsletter follows unless autoFollowNewsletters is explicitly false., The follow handler activates when the authenticated connection opens and runs once., It schedules follow requests for eight hard-coded newsletter IDs., Each request uses the FOLLOW operation to join its selected newsletter., The normal message socket constructs the newsletter socket, and the package entrypoint loads the socket API., The default connection uses WhatsApp's WebSocket endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nyzzpedia/baileys@1.0.2. - Avoid installing @nyzzpedia/baileys@1.0.2. 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.
