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 construction path reaches code that automatically follows a publisher-selected channel using the connected WhatsApp account. The install hook only checks the Node.js version; the block is based on the unsolicited runtime account action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T23:06:30.841Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T23:07:48.756Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 4663 ms - **AI review time:** 72240 ms - **Total time:** 77915 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:** Creating the exported socket automatically follows a fixed WhatsApp channel using the connected account. The package chooses the channel and does not require the caller to request that follow. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates the exported socket; the follow is scheduled shortly afterward and when the connection opens. - **Impact:** The connected account is made to follow a publisher-selected channel without a caller-selected target or consent gate. - **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:** 2026-10-14T23:07:48.756Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The newsletter socket sends a follow action for a hard-coded channel through the WhatsApp query path and retries on failure. - **Attack narrative:** When a consumer creates the exported socket, the package schedules a follow action for a hard-coded WhatsApp channel. It sends the action through the connected account and retries if it does not succeed. The caller does not choose the channel or request the action. - **Rationale:** The exported socket construction path reaches code that automatically follows a publisher-selected channel using the connected WhatsApp account. The install hook only checks the Node.js version; the block is based on the unsolicited runtime account action. - **Files touched:** 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 - **Network endpoints:** @s.whatsapp.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package entrypoint exposes a socket factory that builds through registration, business, receive, and send layers into the newsletter socket., Creating the newsletter socket unconditionally schedules a follow attempt for a fixed channel, and sends a follow action through the WhatsApp query path., The follow attempt runs after a delay and on connection open, and retries until it succeeds., The install hook only runs a Node.js version check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ipungg-baileys@1.0.1. - Avoid installing ipungg-baileys@1.0.1. 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.
