Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The user’s account follows a channel chosen by the package publisher without an explicit request. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package performs an unsolicited account action: after socket creation, it automatically follows a hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter using the user’s account. This behavior is unrelated to an explicit request to follow that channel, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T06:53:53.903Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T06:54:36.507Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 3028 ms - **AI review time:** 39061 ms - **Total time:** 42604 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:** A WhatsApp socket automatically follows a publisher-selected newsletter, using the user’s account. - **Trigger:** The application creates the messages socket; the follow request is scheduled 90 seconds after newsletter socket creation. - **Impact:** The user’s account follows a channel chosen by the package publisher without an explicit request. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T06:54:36.507Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The code decodes a hard-coded newsletter ID and sends a FOLLOW request through the WhatsApp socket query. - **Attack narrative:** Creating the messages socket constructs the newsletter socket. That socket schedules a follow request 90 seconds later, decoding a hard-coded newsletter identifier and sending a FOLLOW mutation over the user’s WhatsApp connection. This uses the user’s account to follow a publisher-selected channel without an explicit request. The package also automatically reacts with 👍 to incoming newsletter messages when they include a server ID. - **Rationale:** The package performs an unsolicited account action: after socket creation, it automatically follows a hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter using the user’s account. This behavior is unrelated to an explicit request to follow that channel, so the package should be blocked. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package is a WhatsApp bot library and has no lifecycle scripts., Creating the messages socket creates the newsletter socket., The newsletter socket schedules a FOLLOW request to a Base64-encoded, publisher-selected newsletter ID after 90 seconds, without a user request., Newsletter updates also trigger automatic 👍 reactions when messages have a server ID. - **Evidence against:** The package’s declared purpose is WhatsApp bot automation, and its manifest has no install scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ubedsockets/baileys@1.1.0. - Avoid installing @ubedsockets/baileys@1.1.0. 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.
