## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The package alters the authenticated user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without consent and lets the publisher change targets remotely.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 2.0.25
- **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 WhatsApp connection automatically follows publisher-selected newsletters and immediately mutes them. The target list is remotely controlled after publication.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A WhatsApp connection automatically follows publisher-selected newsletters and immediately mutes them. The target list is remotely controlled after publication.

- **Trigger:** A consumer creates the normal messaging socket and its WhatsApp connection opens.

- **Impact:** The package alters the authenticated user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions without consent and lets the publisher change targets remotely.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T12:58:09.498Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote channel list fetch followed by automatic follow and mute actions.

- **Attack narrative:** When a consumer's WhatsApp connection opens, the normal socket path waits 30 seconds and fetches a publisher-controlled JSON list. For each valid newsletter ID in that list, it sends follow and mute actions through the authenticated WhatsApp session. This hidden, remote-controlled account manipulation is unrelated to a caller-requested newsletter operation.

- **Rationale:** The package contains concrete, automatic, remotely directed manipulation of an authenticated third-party account. Its benign Node version preinstall check does not mitigate that runtime behavior.

- **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:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** On every successful WhatsApp connection, the package schedules an automatic channel-joining routine., That routine fetches a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs from the publisher's GitHub repository., It follows and then mutes every remotely supplied newsletter ID, without a caller option or consent check., The normal messaging socket always constructs this newsletter socket, so the behavior is not an optional helper.

- **Evidence against:** The install-time preinstall script only checks that Node.js is version 20 or newer., The media upload and ffmpeg features are separate utility functions rather than install-time behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to levvleys@2.0.25.

- Avoid installing levvleys@2.0.25. 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.
