Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 1.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The lifecycle scripts perform only a Node-version check and a local informational banner. The suspicious primitives are package-aligned, explicit runtime helpers without a concrete malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T23:42:27.527Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T23:44:38.355Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 9458 ms - **AI review time:** 120357 ms - **Total time:** 130828 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Lifecycle hooks are a Node-version gate and local banner; runtime networking supports WhatsApp/media features. - **Trigger:** npm install or explicit library API use - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation, payload execution, or credential exfiltration established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T23:44:38.355Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Node check, local banner, and user-invoked WhatsApp/media operations - **Rationale:** The lifecycle scripts perform only a Node-version check and a local informational banner. The suspicious primitives are package-aligned, explicit runtime helpers without a concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, package.json, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/messages.js, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/Client/websocket.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Install lifecycle hooks are present., An exported version helper fetches a fixed GitHub URL., Media code invokes ffmpeg with fixed arguments. - **Evidence against:** Preinstall only enforces Node 20+., Postinstall only reads local package.json and prints a banner., Remote version response is parsed as a numeric version; no code execution., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, persistence, or agent-control writes found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vanzxy/baileys@1.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vanzxy/baileys@1.5.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
