It also accepts a remotely controlled channel list from GitHub. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates a socket and it reaches a successful WhatsApp connection. - **Impact:** Unauthorized account-side subscriptions; remote list can change the targets without a package update. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-01T09:40:26.910Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden automatic newsletter follows and mutes, including remotely supplied IDs. - **Attack narrative:** The normal socket chain includes the newsletter module. On connection open, hidden code waits and follows three obfuscated newsletters, muting each afterward. A separate connection-open hook fetches an attacker-controlled GitHub JSON file and follows/mutes every listed newsletter. These actions are unrelated to a WebSocket client’s requested operation and alter the connected user's WhatsApp account without consent. - **Rationale:** Source establishes a concrete, automatic, unauthorized account mutation on the ordinary runtime path, with a remotely controllable target list. The benign preinstall version check does not mitigate that behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, engine-requirements.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxXza/data/refs/heads/main/noxXza.json, https://web.whatsapp.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/Socket/messages-recv.js registers an automatic connection-open handler., That handler obfuscates and follows three hard-coded @newsletter IDs, then mutes them., lib/Socket/newsletter.js fetches a remote GitHub JSON list and automatically follows/mutes every supplied channel., The newsletter socket is on the normal makeWASocket construction path via messages-send.js., The preinstall hook only prints branding and enforces Node 20; it is not the attack. - **Evidence against:** No credential, environment, or npm-config harvesting was found., No install-time filesystem or network mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
