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. Static source inspection found a Node.js compatibility check in preinstall and package-aligned media handling. The scanner hints did not establish malicious behavior in the inspected files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T22:16:06.265Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T22:16:43.119Z - **Download time:** 781 ms - **Static scan time:** 1949 ms - **AI review time:** 34123 ms - **Total time:** 36854 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 attack surface was identified in the inspected lifecycle and media code. The install hook checks the Node.js version, while media networking supports WhatsApp uploads and downloads. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the preinstall hook; media functions run when called by the consuming application. - **Impact:** No attack impact was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T22:16:43.119Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook parses the Node.js major version and exits on versions below 20. Media upload hosts include configured hosts and hosts returned by the refreshed media connection. - **Rationale:** Static source inspection found a Node.js compatibility check in preinstall and package-aligned media handling. The scanner hints did not establish malicious behavior in the inspected files. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs a preinstall script that checks the Node.js version and exits when it is below 20., The flagged version file contains only a WhatsApp version tuple., The media module’s custom upload hosts are combined with hosts returned by the media connection refresh; no independent credential theft path was established. - **Evidence against:** Media upload and download behavior is consistent with WhatsApp media handling., The package has no confirmed malicious install-time mutation or credential exfiltration in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to alipclutch-baileys@8.6.88. - Review the evidence and your use of alipclutch-baileys@8.6.88 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.
