Install hooks perform a Node-version check and local banner output; runtime networking supports the WhatsApp client. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T17:23:14.078Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T17:24:31.239Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 8917 ms - **AI review time:** 67725 ms - **Total time:** 77161 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install hooks perform a Node-version check and local banner output; runtime networking supports the WhatsApp client. - **Trigger:** npm install; explicit runtime socket/version-helper use - **Impact:** Normal package operation; no unconsented mutation or exfiltration established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Socket/Client/websocket.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/use-multi-file-auth-state.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T17:24:31.239Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** WhatsApp WebSocket client, media utilities, and local auth-state persistence - **Rationale:** Direct inspection found benign lifecycle hooks and package-aligned WhatsApp networking. No concrete malicious behavior, credential exfiltration, remote-code execution, or persistence was found. - **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, package.json, lib/Utils/use-multi-file-auth-state.js - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanzxy/baileys/main/lib/Defaults/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Manifest defines preinstall and postinstall hooks., Preinstall only checks the local Node major version., Postinstall only reads its own package.json and prints a banner., Runtime WebSocket is the expected WhatsApp client connection., Version lookup fetches source text but only parses numeric version fields. - **Evidence against:** No credential/environment harvesting or exfiltration chain found., No install-time network, shell, persistence, or foreign config mutation found., Child process use is fixed-argument ffmpeg thumbnail generation. ## Public findings ### 1.
