Install scripts only validate Node and print a local banner; runtime network use supports WhatsApp connectivity and explicit version queries. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T13:44:03.320Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T13:46:05.510Z - **Download time:** 519 ms - **Static scan time:** 20502 ms - **AI review time:** 101167 ms - **Total time:** 122190 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install scripts only validate Node and print a local banner; runtime network use supports WhatsApp connectivity and explicit version queries. - **Trigger:** npm install or consumer-invoked WhatsApp client/version functions - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation, payload execution, credential exfiltration, or persistence found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Defaults/index.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T13:46:05.510Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Node-version validation, banner output, and WhatsApp client networking - **Rationale:** Static source inspection found benign lifecycle scripts and package-aligned runtime networking. The scanner similarity and token-table signals do not establish an attack chain. - **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Defaults/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanzxy/baileys/main/lib/Defaults/index.js, https://web.whatsapp.com/sw.js, wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install lifecycle hooks are present., Runtime fetches version metadata from package-aligned GitHub. - **Evidence against:** Preinstall only checks the Node major version., Postinstall only reads its own package version and prints a banner., No credential harvesting, shell execution, eval, or agent-control writes found., Runtime WebSocket endpoint is WhatsApp-aligned. ## Public findings ### 1.
