A third-party endpoint supplies target JIDs, and the package acts through the user's authenticated WhatsApp session. - **Trigger:** User calls makeWASocket; the scheduled task runs 90 seconds later. - **Impact:** Unauthorized actions on the user's WhatsApp account; remote operator controls follow targets. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/index.mjs, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-22T20:06:48.866Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote JID list drives unsolicited WhatsApp newsletter-follow requests - **Attack narrative:** On normal socket creation, messages-send.js constructs the newsletter layer. Its constructor schedules a delayed fetch of a Base64-obscured third-party JSON URL, treats its contents as newsletter JIDs, and sends the same WhatsApp query used by newsletterFollow for each target. Errors are swallowed, obscuring the unconsented account actions. - **Rationale:** This is concrete remote-controlled, unconsented use of the caller's authenticated WhatsApp account, not a package-aligned newsletter API feature. No install hook is needed for the payload to activate during ordinary runtime use. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** https://files.gifted.co.ke/file/chJids.json, s.whatsapp.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js decodes and fetches https://files.gifted.co.ke/file/chJids.json., After 90 seconds it iterates remote JIDs and sends WhatsApp query ID 7871414976211147., The same query ID is used by newsletterFollow, confirming unsolicited follows., lib/Socket/messages-send.js invokes makeNewsletterSocket during ordinary socket construction. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential/file harvesting or local persistence was found in reviewed paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
