Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. On connection, the socket automatically follows a publisher-selected channel using the user's WhatsApp account. The behavior is disclosed in the package description, but the account action is not requested by the user. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T00:38:29.311Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T00:39:11.360Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 3862 ms - **AI review time:** 37167 ms - **Total time:** 42049 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:** Automatically follows a publisher-selected WhatsApp channel using the connected account. - **Trigger:** An application creates the socket and its WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** Uses the user's linked account to increase follows for a channel selected by the package publisher. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T00:39:11.360Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The socket handler looks up the hard-coded newsletter invite, then follows the resulting channel ID; NDRAA\_AUTO\_FOLLOW can add more invites. - **Attack narrative:** When an application using the exported makeWASocket establishes a WhatsApp connection, the package automatically resolves a hard-coded newsletter invite and follows that channel with the connected account. The package description identifies this as automatic following of the Pikachu MD channel, but the action still uses the user's account toward a target chosen by the publisher. - **Rationale:** On connection, the socket automatically follows a publisher-selected channel using the user's WhatsApp account. The behavior is disclosed in the package description, but the account action is not requested by the user. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package description says it automatically follows the Pikachu MD channel., The socket code hard-codes a newsletter invite and adds any invites from NDRAA\_AUTO\_FOLLOW., When the connection opens, the socket resolves each invite and calls newsletterFollow with the channel ID., The package entry point exports makeWASocket, which installs that connection handler. - **Evidence against:** The automatic follow is described in the package metadata., The follow occurs after the application creates a socket and the WhatsApp connection opens; no install-time follow was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ndraa-baileys@7.0.0. - Avoid installing ndraa-baileys@7.0.0. 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.
