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 exported socket constructor reaches code that automatically follows a package-selected newsletter on the connected account. This is a concrete, unrequested account mutation, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T21:34:43.437Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T21:35:44.396Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 4347 ms - **AI review time:** 56091 ms - **Total time:** 60959 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:** Socket creation automatically follows a newsletter selected by the package. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls the exported socket constructor; the attempt is also scheduled when the WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** The connected WhatsApp account is made to follow a publisher-selected channel without the caller selecting that action or target. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/registration.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T21:35:44.396Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The newsletter socket sends a follow query for a hard-coded newsletter ID and retries if it does not succeed. - **Attack narrative:** When a consumer creates a socket, the package builds its newsletter socket and immediately schedules a follow attempt for a fixed newsletter ID. It also schedules another attempt when the connection opens and retries after failures. This changes the connected account’s follows without a caller-requested action or caller-selected target. - **Rationale:** The exported socket constructor reaches code that automatically follows a package-selected newsletter on the connected account. This is a concrete, unrequested account mutation, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package entrypoint exports a socket constructor that reaches the newsletter socket through the registration, business, receive, and send layers., The newsletter socket sends a follow query for a fixed newsletter ID., Constructing the newsletter socket starts the follow attempt automatically, with retries and an additional attempt when the connection opens. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ipungg-baileys@1.0.0. - Avoid installing ipungg-baileys@1.0.0.
