Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — An unsolicited account action follows a channel selected by the package publisher. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.2.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 socket factory automatically follows a publisher-selected WhatsApp newsletter using the user's account, without a user request. The opt-out does not make that action requested, so this is malicious account-action behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T02:32:26.477Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T02:33:08.556Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 4561 ms - **AI review time:** 36747 ms - **Total time:** 42079 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:** By default, creating a WhatsApp socket automatically follows the publisher's chosen newsletter using the user's WhatsApp account. - **Trigger:** Creating a socket; the follow is scheduled 15 seconds later. - **Impact:** An unsolicited account action follows a channel selected by the package publisher. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Utils/channel-manager.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T02:33:08.556Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The socket factory initializes a newsletter channel manager with a hard-coded publisher newsletter and calls autoFollowAll, which submits the follow using the authenticated WhatsApp socket. Users must opt out through configuration. - **Attack narrative:** When a client creates a socket, the package schedules an automatic follow of the publisher's hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter. The channel manager sends the follow through the authenticated socket. This account action occurs by default and can only be prevented with an opt-out setting. - **Rationale:** The socket factory automatically follows a publisher-selected WhatsApp newsletter using the user's account, without a user request. The opt-out does not make that action requested, so this is malicious account-action behavior. - **Network endpoints:** s.whatsapp.net, WhatsApp newsletter service ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Socket creation schedules a newsletter follow after 15 seconds by default; the only opt-out is config.autoFollowChannels = false., The default target is the publisher's hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter, 120363411407993897@newsletter., The channel manager performs the follow through the socket's newsletterFollow method or a WhatsApp query., The package's socket construction path invokes the newsletter socket factory. - **Evidence against:** The package is a WhatsApp Web API library, so WhatsApp network traffic is part of its stated purpose., The default follow can be disabled with config.autoFollowChannels = false. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to diezyxhao-baileys@1.2.1. - Avoid installing diezyxhao-baileys@1.2.1. 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.
