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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. The package is a WhatsApp Web socket library whose network use is limited to WhatsApp hosts and an explicit version fetch from the package GitHub repository. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-25T18:48:10.869Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-25T18:49:17.620Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 3352 ms - **AI review time:** 62637 ms - **Total time:** 66751 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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. The package is a WhatsApp Web socket library whose network use is limited to WhatsApp hosts and an explicit version fetch from the package GitHub repository. - **Trigger:** Application code imports the library and calls the socket or media helpers. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential theft, remote payload execution, persistence, or agent-control mutation was found in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-25T18:49:17.620Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The code encodes and decodes the WhatsApp protocol, opens a websocket, and processes local media, including an ffmpeg thumbnail helper. - **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a Baileys-style WhatsApp client library with no install lifecycle, no hidden eval, and network calls aimed at WhatsApp or the package's own version file. The ffmpeg shell call and star dependency ranges are residual library risk, not a concrete supply-chain attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; the published entry is lib/index.js and the scripts are changelog, lint, test, and local protobuf generation., lib/index.js only re-exports the WhatsApp socket, protocol helpers, and utilities., lib/WABinary/constants.js defines WhatsApp binary protocol tag values., The only child\_process use builds an ffmpeg thumbnail command for a local media file., WAProto/index.js is generated protobuf message definitions loaded through protobufjs., fetchLatestBaileysVersion requests the package GitHub baileys-version.json and falls back to the bundled version; other fetches target web.whatsapp.com. - **Evidence against:** The ffmpeg command interpolates path, time, and size without a shell escape; the in-tree caller uses a temp file and a fixed timestamp., Several dependencies use a star version range, which is a supply-chain hygiene issue and not an observed payload., An unused donate URL constant points at saweria.co and is not referenced by any send path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rixxcodex/baileys@8.0.15. - Review the evidence and your use of @rixxcodex/baileys@8.0.15 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.
