Independent LPM AI assessment
SuspiciousIndependent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.
The code contains a concrete shell-injection vulnerability, but inspection found no evidence that the package itself installs a payload, steals data, or persists. It should be warned on as a critical vulnerability rather than blocked as malware.

- The preinstall script only names a local Node-version check; no install-time network, file-harvesting, or persistence behavior was found.
- The inspected protobuf file is generated serialization code and the media HTTP routines support the stated WhatsApp media workflow.
- No self-dependency, credential collection, or non-WhatsApp exfiltration endpoint was found.
