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. Socket creation automatically uses the user’s WhatsApp account to follow the publisher’s chosen newsletter. The opt-out setting does not make this requested by the user, so this is malicious account abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T02:32:38.811Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T02:33:34.117Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 4642 ms - **AI review time:** 49907 ms - **Total time:** 55306 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 follows a developer-selected WhatsApp newsletter using the user’s account. - **Trigger:** Creating a messages socket, unless the caller explicitly sets autoFollowChannels to false. - **Impact:** Uses the user’s WhatsApp account to follow the publisher’s chosen channel without a request, potentially boosting that channel. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Utils/channel-manager.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T02:33:34.117Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The socket schedules a follow request after 15 seconds; its channel manager adds the hard-coded default target and sends the newsletter follow operation. - **Attack narrative:** When an application creates a messages socket, the package schedules a follow request for the publisher’s hard-coded WhatsApp newsletter. The channel manager includes that target by default and invokes the socket’s follow operation. Users must explicitly opt out with autoFollowChannels=false, so this performs an account action toward a publisher-chosen target without consent. - **Rationale:** Socket creation automatically uses the user’s WhatsApp account to follow the publisher’s chosen newsletter. The opt-out setting does not make this requested by the user, so this is malicious account abuse. - **Network endpoints:** s.whatsapp.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package hard-codes the developer’s WhatsApp newsletter as its default follow target; disabling the action requires setting autoFollowChannels to false., Creating the messages socket creates the newsletter socket, which schedules the follow action after 15 seconds by default., The follow routine includes the hard-coded default channel and calls the socket’s newsletter-follow operation for its target. - **Evidence against:** The package is a WhatsApp API library, so WhatsApp network access is expected., The manifest has no active install hook; the unauthorized action occurs when the socket is created. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to diezyxhao-baileys@1.3.0. - Avoid installing diezyxhao-baileys@1.3.0. 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.
