Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The standard socket flow automatically uses the connected WhatsApp account to join a hard-coded group and follow a hard-coded channel. These publisher-selected account actions occur on connection without a user request, so the package is malicious under the account-action rule. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T08:42:16.654Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T08:43:02.412Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 5404 ms - **AI review time:** 39589 ms - **Total time:** 45758 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:** Automatically joins a publisher-selected WhatsApp group and follows a publisher-selected channel using the user's account. - **Trigger:** The user creates the package's standard socket and the WhatsApp connection reaches the open state. - **Impact:** The user's WhatsApp account joins a group and follows a channel without a request to perform those account actions. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Astrocore/autoConnect.js, lib/Socket/communities.js, lib/Socket/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T08:43:02.412Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The socket installs a connection listener that invokes groupAcceptInvite and newsletterFollow with hard-coded default targets unless overridden by configuration. - **Attack narrative:** Creating the standard socket installs an auto-connect listener. When WhatsApp reports an open connection, the package uses the user's account to join a hard-coded group and follow a hard-coded channel. The behavior is documented and configurable, but it still performs publisher-chosen account actions by default without a user request. - **Rationale:** The standard socket flow automatically uses the connected WhatsApp account to join a hard-coded group and follow a hard-coded channel. These publisher-selected account actions occur on connection without a user request, so the package is malicious under the account-action rule. - **Files touched:** ./richstore/autoconnect.json - **Network endpoints:** chat.whatsapp.com/FYDghXAdZpL7ceOV7J7GxX, whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDSKRu4tRrrxvFQbY0F ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The socket defaults to a hard-coded WhatsApp group invite and channel link., The standard socket factory creates a communities socket, which installs the auto-connect behavior., When the WhatsApp connection opens, the listener calls groupAcceptInvite and newsletterFollow for those targets. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a WhatsApp socket library with auto-connect support., The behavior is documented in source comments and can be overridden through configuration or environment variables. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to cyberdark-baileys@2.2.0. - Avoid installing cyberdark-baileys@2.2.0. 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.
