Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package exposes a callable uploader that forwards caller-supplied buffers to public third-party hosts. No automatic install-time or import-time attack was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T10:33:04.358Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 4734 ms - **AI review time:** 119018 ms - **Total time:** 124259 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:** The package exposes a callable uploader that forwards caller-supplied buffers to public third-party hosts. No automatic install-time or import-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A consumer explicitly calls uploadFile with a buffer. - **Impact:** Caller-provided data may be disclosed to the first reachable public host, outside WhatsApp's media infrastructure. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The function creates multipart upload forms and posts them to a fallback list of public upload services. - **Rationale:** The callable uploader transfers arbitrary supplied buffers to unrelated public hosts and has no destination restriction or consent gate. It is not automatically activated, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publication block. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Network endpoints:** https://catbox.moe/user/api.php, https://scdn.pdi.moe/upload, https://qu.ax/upload.php, https://uguu.se/upload.php, https://tmpfiles.org/api/v1/upload ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The public utility module exports an uploadFile function., uploadFile places its buffer argument in multipart form data for public file-hosting services., The function posts that form to each configured service until one succeeds. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No package-internal caller of uploadFile was found; it requires an explicit API call., The dynamic import is a fixed audio-decode module name, not caller-controlled code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to baileys-xbats@1.0.0. - Avoid installing baileys-xbats@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
