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. Source inspection shows package-aligned WhatsApp media, networking, and optional VoIP functionality rather than a concrete attack chain. The lifecycle scripts are transparent and non-mutating. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-30T01:19:03.747Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-30T01:20:40.363Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 13698 ms - **AI review time:** 82160 ms - **Total time:** 96616 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 was established. Installation only performs a local runtime-version check and prints a banner. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the declared lifecycle scripts; VoIP and network helpers require explicit runtime use. - **Impact:** No unconsented file mutation, credential collection, persistence, or exfiltration was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/VoIP/wasm-engine.js, lib/VoIP/worker-bootstrap.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T01:20:40.363Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Local compatibility check, banner output, and user-invoked WhatsApp client functionality. - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows package-aligned WhatsApp media, networking, and optional VoIP functionality rather than a concrete attack chain. The lifecycle scripts are transparent and non-mutating. - **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Install hooks only check the local Node version and print a banner., The optional VoIP runtime evaluates bundled local WASM support code when the VoIP client is initialized., Version helpers make explicit runtime requests to the package repository and WhatsApp. - **Evidence against:** No install hook writes files, invokes a shell command, or contacts a network endpoint., No self-dependency or nested lifecycle dependency is declared., No credential harvesting, AI-agent configuration mutation, persistence, or destructive project mutation was found., The flagged child-process use is constrained ffmpeg media processing with argument arrays. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vanzxy/baileys@1.6.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @vanzxy/baileys@1.6.6 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.
