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. When a WhatsApp socket opens, the package obtains newsletter identifiers from a maintainer-controlled remote file and mutates the connected account to follow them. The subscriptions are then muted, reducing their visibility to the account owner. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T10:49:48.948Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T10:50:40.113Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 9898 ms - **AI review time:** 40747 ms - **Total time:** 51165 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The subscriptions are then muted, reducing their visibility to the account owner. - **Trigger:** Opening a WhatsApp connection through the package. - **Impact:** Unauthorized changes to the connected WhatsApp account's newsletter subscriptions. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T10:50:40.113Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follows and mutes. - **Attack narrative:** After a socket reports an open connection, the package waits 30 seconds and downloads a JSON list from a GitHub-controlled URL. It accepts newsletter IDs from that response, sends WhatsApp follow requests for each one, and then sends mute requests. Because the server-side list is fetched at runtime, the publisher can change the subscriptions imposed on connected accounts without publishing a new package version. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concealed, remotely controlled account-mutation path that automatically follows and mutes newsletters after connection. This is concrete unauthorized behavior, not a package-aligned media or WhatsApp transport feature. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com, s.whatsapp.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** A socket connection automatically retrieves a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs., For every listed ID, it follows and then mutes the newsletter without an application-user request., The remote list can be changed after publication, controlling future account mutations. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only checks that Node.js is version 20 or newer., No install-time network, file-harvesting, or project-file mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to levvleys@2.0.21. - Avoid installing levvleys@2.0.21. 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.
