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. The flagged media utility contains a concrete shell-injection risk when processing a crafted video path, warranting a warning. The preinstall script is a Node.js version check, not an observed malicious install action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T22:16:16.185Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T22:16:39.161Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 1746 ms - **AI review time:** 20454 ms - **Total time:** 22976 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 a constructed command to a shell with an interpolated media path. - **Trigger:** A caller requests a video thumbnail for a file path containing shell syntax. - **Impact:** Shell metacharacters in the path could execute commands with the package process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T22:16:39.161Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The utility inserts the path directly into a command string and invokes child\_process.exec. - **Rationale:** The flagged media utility contains a concrete shell-injection risk when processing a crafted video path, warranting a warning. The preinstall script is a Node.js version check, not an observed malicious install action. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Video thumbnail generation interpolates a file path into a shell command passed to exec without shell escaping., The command runs when the thumbnail function processes video media., The preinstall hook only runs a Node.js version check. - **Evidence against:** No endpoint or credential forwarding behavior was established in the inspected flagged code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to alipclutch-baileys@8.6.87. - Review the evidence and your use of alipclutch-baileys@8.6.87 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.
