AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T06:53:53.909Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T06:54:35.620Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 3032 ms - **AI review time:** 38178 ms - **Total time:** 41711 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:** Automatically follows a publisher-selected WhatsApp newsletter using the user's account. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T06:54:35.620Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** WhatsApp service via the w:mex newsletter query ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ubedsockets/baileys@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @ubedsockets/baileys@1.0.0. 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.
