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 normal WhatsApp connection causes an unrequested account-state change. A remote maintainer-controlled list selects newsletters that the connected account follows and mutes. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T10:18:32.008Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T10:19:38.555Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 10634 ms - **AI review time:** 55391 ms - **Total time:** 66547 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

A remote maintainer-controlled list selects newsletters that the connected account follows and mutes. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates the default socket and its WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** The package changes the consumer's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without an explicit API request and lets a remote file choose the targets. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T10:19:38.555Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follow and mute operations. - **Attack narrative:** The exported default socket reaches the messaging layer, which always constructs the newsletter layer. Thirty seconds after a successful connection, that layer downloads newsletter IDs from a GitHub-hosted file and issues WhatsApp follow and mute requests for each valid ID. The targets are controlled remotely and the behavior is not exposed as an opt-in caller action. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic, remotely directed manipulation of a connected consumer WhatsApp account. The benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The default messaging socket constructs the newsletter socket layer., On a successful WhatsApp connection, the package fetches channel identifiers from a maintainer-controlled remote file., It silently follows and then mutes every remotely supplied newsletter identifier after the connection opens. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only checks that Node.js is version 20 or later., The dynamic import and FFmpeg invocation are limited to optional audio decoding and media thumbnail processing. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to levvleys@2.0.20. - Avoid installing levvleys@2.0.20. 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.
