It also lets a remotely controlled GitHub list select additional accounts. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates a WhatsApp socket and its connection opens. - **Impact:** The package mutates the user's WhatsApp subscriptions without consent and gives the publisher remote control over further targets. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T22:54:14.917Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated automatic newsletter follow and mute operations. - **Attack narrative:** After a WhatsApp connection opens, hidden character-code strings resolve to newsletter follow and mute operations for two hard-coded accounts. Separately, the newsletter socket fetches a publisher-controlled list from GitHub and follows and mutes every valid listed newsletter. The behavior is automatic, account-affecting, and obscured; it is not required for normal connection handling. - **Rationale:** The package contains concealed, unsolicited runtime actions that alter a user's WhatsApp account and a remote list that controls additional targets. Its preinstall hook is only a Node version check, but that does not mitigate the confirmed malicious runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** On every successful WhatsApp connection, the package automatically follows and mutes two hard-coded newsletter accounts after a delay., The hard-coded account IDs and method names are concealed as character-code arrays, indicating deliberate obscuring of the unsolicited account actions., A second connection handler downloads newsletter IDs from the publisher's GitHub content and automatically follows and mutes each listed account., These actions affect the user's WhatsApp account without an explicit library call or consent. - **Evidence against:** The install-time preinstall script only checks that Node.js is version 20 or newer., No source evidence shows local credential harvesting or a shell payload at installation time. ## Public findings ### 1.
