Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installation automatically imports package code and connects to WhatsApp. At runtime, the package enables an aggressive anti-ban layer that changes sending behavior and can vary message content. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T10:33:54.918Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 3117 ms - **AI review time:** 70323 ms - **Total time:** 73699 ms 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:** Installation automatically imports package code and connects to WhatsApp. At runtime, the package enables an aggressive anti-ban layer that changes sending behavior and can vary message content. - **Trigger:** npm installation, then creating a WhatsApp socket without setting antiban to false. - **Impact:** Unexpected install-time network access and functionality suited to evading WhatsApp anti-spam controls. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/self-test.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/antiban.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic network self-test and default anti-ban message evasion controls. - **Rationale:** This package contains real, automatically activated anti-detection capability and an unconsented install-time network probe. The source does not establish credential theft, destructive behavior, or a complete malicious lifecycle chain, so a warning is more proportionate than a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/self-test.js, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/antiban.js - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Install automatically runs a self-test that imports the package and opens a WebSocket to WhatsApp., The runtime enables an aggressive anti-ban wrapper unless the user explicitly disables it., The anti-ban module alters message text with zero-width characters and punctuation variation., README claims AntiBan is opt-in, but the runtime code enables it by default. - **Evidence against:** The install hook targets WhatsApp rather than an unrelated collection endpoint., Webhook and Telegram alert delivery require caller-supplied configuration., No source evidence of credential harvesting, shell execution, or foreign project mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to my-baileys@1.0.4. - Avoid installing my-baileys@1.0.4. 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.
