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. The exported socket path reaches a default-on connection handler that follows publisher-selected newsletters on the authenticated account. The opt-out does not provide affirmative consent to these account changes. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T11:50:33.437Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T11:51:43.680Z - **Download time:** 1761 ms - **Static scan time:** 10956 ms - **AI review time:** 57524 ms - **Total time:** 70243 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 library automatically subscribes the connected WhatsApp account to eight publisher-selected newsletters. - **Trigger:** The WhatsApp connection opens while autoFollowNewsletters is not explicitly false. - **Impact:** The account is changed without the user selecting those newsletters. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T11:51:43.680Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A connection event schedules FOLLOW requests for each hard-coded newsletter ID. - **Attack narrative:** When the connection opens, the library schedules FOLLOW requests for eight hard-coded newsletter IDs. This changes the connected account’s subscriptions without the user selecting those newsletters; the behavior is disabled only by explicitly setting autoFollowNewsletters to false. - **Rationale:** The exported socket path reaches a default-on connection handler that follows publisher-selected newsletters on the authenticated account. The opt-out does not provide affirmative consent to these account changes. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The newsletter socket contains eight publisher-selected newsletter IDs and enables automatic following unless explicitly disabled., When the connection opens, it schedules a FOLLOW request for each selected newsletter., The exported makeWASocket builds the package socket, and makeMessagesSocket composes the newsletter socket. - **Evidence against:** The automatic behavior has an explicit opt-out: setting autoFollowNewsletters to false disables it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nyzzpedia/baileys@1.0.3. - Avoid installing @nyzzpedia/baileys@1.0.3. 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.
