Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install-time behavior is limited to a Node version check; runtime networking and persistence support the WhatsApp client when invoked by the consumer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T09:38:44.571Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T09:39:45.033Z - **Download time:** 1034 ms - **Static scan time:** 6436 ms - **AI review time:** 52990 ms - **Total time:** 60462 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install-time behavior is limited to a Node version check; runtime networking and persistence support the WhatsApp client when invoked by the consumer. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or consumer-created WhatsApp socket/media/store operation - **Impact:** No unconsented execution, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/index.js, lib/Defaults/index.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/addons/in-memory-store.js, lib/WABinary/constants.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T09:39:45.033Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Node version validation and user-invoked WhatsApp Web client operations - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows the flagged lifecycle hook is only a Node-version guard. The remaining network, filesystem, and ffmpeg uses are package-aligned, runtime consumer features with no concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/index.js, lib/Defaults/index.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/addons/in-memory-store.js - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat, https://web.whatsapp.com, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/versions.json, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys/master/src/Defaults/index.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs engine-requirements.js at preinstall., lib/Utils/messages-media.js invokes ffmpeg only for user-supplied video thumbnail generation., lib/addons/in-memory-store.js can read/write caller-specified store paths. - **Evidence against:** engine-requirements.js only enforces Node.js 20+ and exits on older versions., No install-time network, file harvesting, shell execution, or agent-control-surface mutation found., lib/index.js only exports WhatsApp client and utility modules., Network defaults target WhatsApp Web; version fetches are explicit utility calls., constants.js is a WhatsApp protocol token dictionary, not embedded credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @queenanya/baileys@9.7.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @queenanya/baileys@9.7.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
