## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — No malicious effect was established from the inspected source.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.1.20
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17620 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

No concrete attack was identified. Inspected behavior consists of a version check, protocol serialization, and caller-invoked messaging and media utilities.

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:** No concrete attack was identified. Inspected behavior consists of a version check, protocol serialization, and caller-invoked messaging and media utilities.

- **Trigger:** Installation checks the Node.js version; callers activate network and media helpers.

- **Impact:** No malicious effect was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T06:30:04.908Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package processes supplied media and messages without an identified secret-harvesting or remote-payload execution chain.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection supports package-aligned functionality rather than malicious behavior. Similarity, secret-pattern, eval, and oversized-file hints did not establish an active attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs a Node.js version check during preinstall; prepare only prints a banner, and no runtime self-dependency exists., lib/WABinary/constants.js builds protocol token lookup tables rather than using harvested credentials., WAProto/index.js implements protobuf message encoding; inspected searches found no payload execution or network behavior., lib/Utils/messages-media.js uploads caller-supplied buffers through an exported helper; its eval imports the fixed audio-decode module, and FFmpeg uses argument-based spawning., lib/Utils/messages.js places caller-provided image URLs and a source attribution URL into message metadata., The Telegram adapter receives its token and API endpoint from caller options rather than collecting an existing session credential.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to dzyclutch-baileys@1.1.20.

- Avoid installing dzyclutch-baileys@1.1.20. 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.
