Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 8.6.85 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Static inspection found a command injection risk in user-invoked video thumbnail generation. The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js version, so the evidence supports a warning for remote code execution risk rather than a malicious package verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T22:16:23.909Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T22:16:48.421Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 1740 ms - **AI review time:** 21990 ms - **Total time:** 24512 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:** Video thumbnail generation passes file paths into a shell command without escaping them. A crafted path can alter the command when this user-invoked functionality runs. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes video thumbnail generation with a crafted file path. - **Impact:** Potential command execution with the permissions of the application process. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T22:16:48.421Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The utility interpolates the input and output paths into a command string and executes it through child\_process.exec. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found a command injection risk in user-invoked video thumbnail generation. The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js version, so the evidence supports a warning for remote code execution risk rather than a malicious package verdict. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js builds an ffmpeg shell command by interpolating media and output paths, then executes it., The video thumbnail function passes its file argument to that command; the utility is re-exported by lib/index.js. - **Evidence against:** package.json’s preinstall hook runs a Node version check; it does not establish a malicious install-time action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to alipclutch-baileys@8.6.85. - Review the evidence and your use of alipclutch-baileys@8.6.85 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.
