AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook can overwrite existing consumer dependencies and redirect their imports, so unresolved risk remains. The source does not establish malicious intent or a separate attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing charape in a node_modules directory.
Impact
Existing Baileys packages can be silently replaced, changing which code consumer imports execute.
Mechanism
The hook writes a proxy package manifest and entry files into the targeted Baileys directories without skipping existing directories.
AI rationale
The install hook can overwrite existing consumer dependencies and redirect their imports, so unresolved risk remains. The source does not establish malicious intent or a separate attack behavior.
