Install hooks are limited to a Node-version check and a local console banner; runtime networking implements WhatsApp connectivity and explicit version/media operations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T09:23:50.801Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T09:25:04.532Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 20063 ms - **AI review time:** 52905 ms - **Total time:** 73731 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install hooks are limited to a Node-version check and a local console banner; runtime networking implements WhatsApp connectivity and explicit version/media operations. - **Trigger:** npm install; application code explicitly calls package APIs - **Impact:** No credential harvesting, remote payload execution, persistence, or destructive behavior established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/messages.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T09:25:04.532Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** WhatsApp Web client, media processing, and opt-in version lookup - **Rationale:** Direct inspection found no install-time mutation, exfiltration, remote code execution, or persistence. Scanner similarity is consistent with ordinary Baileys-derived protocol/media source and does not establish malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install hooks are declared, requiring lifecycle inspection. - **Evidence against:** preinstall only checks the Node major version and exits on unsupported versions., postinstall reads its local package.json and prints a console banner; it performs no network or file mutation., The GitHub fetch is an exported, user-invoked version utility that parses a numeric version from text, not code execution., ffmpeg use is a fixed-argument media-thumbnail helper invoked at runtime., The apparent newsletter annotation is not applied: media upload construction explicitly removes the former injection path. ## Public findings ### 1.
