## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — A remote maintainer can alter the user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without consent.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 2.0.12
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17397 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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

A successful WhatsApp connection triggers an undisclosed remote-controlled subscription action. The package fetches a channel list and follows and mutes those channels using the connected account.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A successful WhatsApp connection triggers an undisclosed remote-controlled subscription action. The package fetches a channel list and follows and mutes those channels using the connected account.

- **Trigger:** A consumer creates a normal WhatsApp socket and its connection becomes open.

- **Impact:** A remote maintainer can alter the user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without consent.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T23:59:40.959Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic WhatsApp newsletter follow and mute actions.

- **Attack narrative:** The public message socket constructs the newsletter socket. When a WhatsApp connection opens, that socket waits 30 seconds, retrieves a mutable list from GitHub, then follows and mutes every listed newsletter. This is an unconsented, remotely controlled action on the connected user's account.

- **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete hidden account-manipulation path in the normal socket lifecycle. Its remote input permits the maintainer to choose affected newsletters after publication.

- **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LevviCodeID/Levi4than/refs/heads/main/levvleys.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The normal socket stack includes newsletter code., On every successful connection, code waits 30 seconds then runs an automatic channel-join routine., The routine downloads channel identifiers from a maintainer-controlled GitHub URL and silently follows and mutes each valid identifier., The remote list can change the user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without an explicit application request.

- **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only enforces a Node.js version., The observed remote action is account manipulation rather than credential theft or local file damage.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to levvleys@2.0.12.

- Avoid installing levvleys@2.0.12. 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.
