The requests run through the user's authenticated WhatsApp connection. - **Trigger:** Calling the package's normal makeWASocket API. - **Impact:** It alters the user's account subscriptions and sends unrequested authenticated actions. - **Evidence paths:** 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:** 2026-09-05T07:37:11.753Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic hidden newsletter subscriptions through WhatsApp FOLLOW queries. - **Attack narrative:** The public socket factory builds through registration, business, receive, send, and newsletter layers. During construction, the newsletter layer decodes two concealed recipient IDs and schedules FOLLOW requests without any caller option or consent. The authenticated WhatsApp session then follows those newsletters automatically. - **Rationale:** This is deliberate, concealed, user-unconsented account manipulation on the normal runtime path. The harmless version-check install hook does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **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:** The newsletter socket hides two hard-coded newsletter IDs in base64 and sends a FOLLOW request for each., It schedules those joins automatically after socket creation, without user input or configuration., The default socket construction chain reaches this newsletter factory through normal public socket layers. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only performs a Node.js version check and terminal output., No credential harvesting or external exfiltration code was found in the reviewed files. ## Public findings ### 1.
