## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — A configured unrelated host can receive the WhatsApp media upload token and uploaded media.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.1.22
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Caller-configured media upload hosts receive a WhatsApp-issued upload authorization token. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no covert attack or malicious recipient was confirmed.

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:** Caller-configured media upload hosts receive a WhatsApp-issued upload authorization token. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no covert attack or malicious recipient was confirmed.

- **Trigger:** A caller configures customUploadHosts and sends media through the socket.

- **Impact:** A configured unrelated host can receive the WhatsApp media upload token and uploaded media.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Defaults/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

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

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The uploader combines custom and service-provided hosts, adds the service authorization token to each upload URL, and posts media without validating the host against the intended service.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes conditional forwarding of a service-issued credential to unrestricted caller-configured hosts, warranting a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. It does not establish malware intent or a block-eligible attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for block:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js obtains an upload authorization token from the WhatsApp media connection response., lib/Utils/messages-media.js prepends caller-configured upload hosts to service-provided hosts without restricting their destinations., The uploader places the service token in the destination URL and sends an HTTP POST to that host., The active message-sending code constructs this uploader with socket configuration and invokes it for media uploads., lib/Defaults/index.js leaves custom upload hosts empty by default, making exposure conditional on caller configuration.

- **Evidence against:** The preinstall script only checks the Node.js major version; no install-time attack was identified., No hidden package-controlled recipient or covert credential harvesting was established., The Telegram adapter uses a caller-supplied bot token for its API calls.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to dzyclutch-baileys@1.1.22.
