## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The authenticated account is made to follow newsletters without the consumer selecting those targets.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 7.1.3
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection confirms an automatically activated account action using publisher-selected newsletter targets. The default setting is enabled, and the consumer must explicitly disable it; this supports blocking as concrete unrequested account behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The default socket setup automatically follows newsletters on the user's WhatsApp account. The target list includes publisher-selected IDs and IDs fetched from a remote source.

- **Trigger:** A consumer creates a socket and its connection opens; the default behavior runs after a delay.

- **Impact:** The authenticated account is made to follow newsletters without the consumer selecting those targets.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Defaults/index.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T20:53:56.927Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package retrieves newsletter IDs from a remote list and sends WhatsApp FOLLOW queries for those IDs unless the consumer disables the option.

- **Attack narrative:** When a consumer creates a socket, the default configuration enables automatic newsletter following. After the connection opens, the package can fetch a publisher-selected target list and send follow requests through the authenticated WhatsApp socket. This changes the account's subscriptions without the consumer choosing those targets.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatically activated account action using publisher-selected newsletter targets. The default setting is enabled, and the consumer must explicitly disable it; this supports blocking as concrete unrequested account behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iyedahruss/all-public-db/refs/heads/main/newsletter.json, S\_WHATSAPP\_NET

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package entrypoint is lib/index.js, which exposes the socket implementation., Creating a socket invokes triggerAutoFollow, and the default configuration enables it with a 90-second delay and a publisher-selected newsletter ID., On connection, the code fetches newsletter IDs from a remote list and follows them using the WhatsApp FOLLOW query., Following runs automatically after the connection opens unless the consumer explicitly disables the feature.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to luoxy-baileys@7.1.3.

- Avoid installing luoxy-baileys@7.1.3. 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.
