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:** 8.6.90 - **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. The package does not show a malicious installer chain, but its exported media-processing behavior contains a concrete command-injection risk. The unsafe shell invocation warrants a warning rather than publication blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T13:53:58.446Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T13:54:55.710Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 9855 ms - **AI review time:** 46898 ms - **Total time:** 57264 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:** A crafted local media path can be inserted into an ffmpeg shell command during video thumbnail generation. This can execute commands with the privileges of the application using the library. - **Trigger:** An application invokes video thumbnail generation with an attacker-controlled media file path. - **Impact:** Arbitrary command execution in the host application context. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T13:54:55.710Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unquoted shell-command interpolation through child\_process.exec. - **Rationale:** The package does not show a malicious installer chain, but its exported media-processing behavior contains a concrete command-injection risk. The unsafe shell invocation warrants a warning rather than publication blocking. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The media thumbnail helper interpolates a path into an unquoted shell command., That helper runs the constructed command with child\_process.exec, enabling command injection when a crafted media path reaches it. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks the running Node.js major version and exits on unsupported versions., No source evidence shows credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, or installer-side project mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to alipclutch-baileys@8.6.90. - Review the evidence and your use of alipclutch-baileys@8.6.90 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.
