It uses both hard-coded obfuscated IDs and a remotely controlled ID list. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates a socket and its WhatsApp connection reaches open state. - **Impact:** Unauthorized modification of the user's WhatsApp account subscriptions; the remote list can change targets without a package update. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T20:30:34.864Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Delayed hidden newsletter follow-and-mute operations, including remote-controlled targets. - **Attack narrative:** On a successful WhatsApp connection, newsletter.js waits 30 seconds, retrieves arbitrary newsletter IDs from a GitHub-hosted JSON file, then follows and mutes each one. Independently, messages-recv.js conceals two newsletter IDs and the newsletterFollow/newsletterMute method names as character codes, then performs the same actions after connection open. These operations are not user-requested and modify the connected account. - **Rationale:** The package contains concealed, automatic account mutations and a remotely controlled target list, unrelated to normal WhatsApp client operation. Its lifecycle hook is benign, but the runtime behavior is concrete malicious abuse. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxXza/data/refs/heads/main/noxleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js fetches a maintainer-controlled remote JSON list on connection., lib/Socket/newsletter.js automatically follows and mutes every remotely supplied newsletter ID., lib/Socket/messages-recv.js hides two newsletter IDs and method names as character codes., lib/Socket/messages-recv.js follows and mutes those hidden IDs 30 seconds after connection opens. - **Evidence against:** package.json preinstall only checks the Node major version., The eval in lib/Utils/messages-media.js is a fixed optional audio-decode import., Other WebSocket and media networking is consistent with a WhatsApp client library. ## Public findings ### 1.
