diezyxhao-baileys@1.1.25
DIEZYXHAO BAILEYS - Advanced WhatsApp Web API Library with Latest Protocol Support
AI Security Review
scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe library’s channel manager silently uses the user’s WhatsApp session to follow a publisher-chosen newsletter whenever the manager connects, even if the caller supplied different channels. This is an unrequested account action toward a target selected by the publisher.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A consumer creates a ChannelManager with a socket and at least one initial channel; the socket later emits connection.update with connection set to open.
Impact
The user’s WhatsApp account is made to follow a channel they did not select.
Mechanism
The connection listener calls autoFollowAll, which unconditionally adds the hardcoded newsletter JID and follows it through the socket API.
Attack narrative
When a consumer initializes the channel manager with a socket and any channel, the manager registers a background connection listener. Once connected, it adds the publisher’s hardcoded newsletter JID to the follow targets and follows it using the user’s WhatsApp session.
AI rationale
The library’s channel manager silently uses the user’s WhatsApp session to follow a publisher-chosen newsletter whenever the manager connects, even if the caller supplied different channels. This is an unrequested account action toward a target selected by the publisher.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The channel manager hardcodes newsletter target 120363411407993897@newsletter.
- Constructing a manager with a socket and at least one initial channel installs a connection-open listener.
- On connection, autoFollowAll adds the hardcoded target even when it was not among the caller’s channels.
- The manager performs the action through sock.newsletterFollow(targetJid) when available.
Evidence against
- The package is a WhatsApp Web API library, and the follow helper is exposed through its channel-manager module.
- The action requires a caller to construct the channel manager with a socket and initial channel list; it is not wired into normal socket creation.
