This is concealed automatic account action, not a requested feature. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates the default socket and its WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** An attacker can cause connected user accounts to follow arbitrary WhatsApp channels without consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/generics.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T19:25:12.873Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-configured silent newsletter follows and mutes. - **Attack narrative:** When an application using the default socket connects to WhatsApp, the inherited newsletter socket waits 30 seconds, downloads a mutable JSON list from the publisher's GitHub repository, and silently follows and mutes every listed channel. The list is fetched at runtime, allowing post-publication targeting without another npm release. The actions operate on the connected user's WhatsApp account and are unrelated to the package's advertised WebSocket functionality. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, automatic remote-controlled account-manipulation chain. Its benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.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:** On every successful WhatsApp connection, it fetches a remote attacker-controlled channel list and silently follows then mutes each channel., The connection hook is part of the default socket construction chain, not an explicit opt-in API., The remote list can change behavior after publication without a package update. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only enforces Node.js 20+ and performs no network or filesystem mutation., No credential or environment-variable harvesting was found in the inspected code. ## Public findings ### 1.
