AI Security Review
scanned 13h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically uses the connected WhatsApp account to follow a hard-coded newsletter when its normal socket is constructed. This is an unrequested account action toward a publisher-chosen target.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Runtime construction of the message/newsletter socket; the request is scheduled after 90 seconds.
Impact
Changes the user's WhatsApp account by following a newsletter they did not choose.
Mechanism
The code decodes a fixed newsletter ID and sends a WhatsApp newsletter FOLLOW query, with errors silently ignored.
Attack narrative
When the normal message socket layer constructs the newsletter socket, it schedules a request for 90 seconds later. The callback decodes a hard-coded newsletter ID and sends it a FOLLOW query through the user's WhatsApp connection, silently ignoring errors. This performs an account action toward a publisher-selected target without a user request.
AI rationale
The package automatically uses the connected WhatsApp account to follow a hard-coded newsletter when its normal socket is constructed. This is an unrequested account action toward a publisher-chosen target.
Evidence

Network endpoints1
WhatsApp service via the w:mex newsletter query
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- A 90-second timer decodes a hard-coded newsletter ID and sends it a FOLLOW request without a user request.
- The newsletter socket is constructed by the package’s normal message socket layer.
- The package has no lifecycle scripts, so this action is triggered at runtime when the socket is constructed.
Evidence against
- The package is a WhatsApp socket library, and the request uses its newsletter protocol.
- The manifest defines no install lifecycle scripts.
