Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has an unnecessary import-time child process that produces terminal output, so it merits a warning. The reviewed lifecycle hook only checks the Node version, and the external network calls inspected support version lookup, WhatsApp connectivity, or explicit media upload functionality; no malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T00:34:01.388Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T00:34:48.986Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 4882 ms - **AI review time:** 41955 ms - **Total time:** 47598 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 attack was identified. Importing the package unexpectedly spawns a child process to display a startup spinner. - **Trigger:** Importing lib/index.js. - **Impact:** Unnecessary process creation and terminal output during import; the inspected spinner code shows no network or file activity. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T00:34:48.986Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entry point runs embedded spinner code with the current Node executable, then kills the child after loading the library. - **Rationale:** The package has an unnecessary import-time child process that produces terminal output, so it merits a warning. The reviewed lifecycle hook only checks the Node version, and the external network calls inspected support version lookup, WhatsApp connectivity, or explicit media upload functionality; no malicious behavior was established. - **Network endpoints:** https://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat, https://catbox.moe/user/api.php, https://scdn.pdi.moe/upload, https://qu.ax/upload.php, https://uguu.se/upload.php, https://tmpfiles.org/api/v1/upload, https://registry.npmjs.org/noxleyss ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Importing the main entry starts a Node child process for a terminal spinner before loading the library, then kills it after loading., The package preinstall hook checks the Node version and exits on versions below 20; it does not contact the network. - **Evidence against:** The child process runs a short embedded spinner that writes to stdout; no file or network operations are shown in that code., Media uploads are implemented as a feature that posts the supplied buffer to public file-hosting services., The WhatsApp socket defaults point to WhatsApp’s web service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ruthless-imperium/baileys@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ruthless-imperium/baileys@1.0.0 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.
