Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17323 confirms this npm version as malicious. cortana-md-engine is a Baileys-based WhatsApp bot whose bundled entrypoints dist/hosted.cjs and dist/index.cjs hardcode five mongodb+srv://cortanauser:...@{cluster2.uvds2qk,cluster3.t2gtazm,cluster4.bwuctn9,cluster5.kdkad04,mass.gcijtck}.mongodb.net Atlas connection strings and, at bot startup, persist the Baileys authState/creds (Session/authState/sessions collections) into those clusters... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T14:01:34.162Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T14:01:38.554Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 3871 ms - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** 4392 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 No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to cortana-md-engine@1.4.6. - Avoid installing cortana-md-engine@1.4.6. 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.
