Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The default socket silently changes the user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions. A remote GitHub JSON file controls the target newsletters. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T13:06:04.956Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T13:07:21.148Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 5599 ms - **AI review time:** 70085 ms - **Total time:** 76192 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:** The default socket silently changes the user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions. A remote GitHub JSON file controls the target newsletters. - **Trigger:** A consumer creates a socket and its WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** The package can alter the authenticated user's WhatsApp account without a caller request. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T13:07:21.148Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-configured automatic newsletter follow and mute actions. - **Attack narrative:** The normal message-socket path includes the newsletter layer. Thirty seconds after connection, it downloads a maintainer-controlled list and uses the active authenticated session to follow and mute each listed newsletter. The caller has no option or consent step for these account changes. - **Rationale:** This is concealed remote-controlled account mutation in the default runtime path, not a requested library feature. The benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate it. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxXza/data/refs/heads/main/noxleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The default message socket always constructs the newsletter socket layer., After a WhatsApp connection opens, the package retrieves a remotely controlled list of newsletter IDs., It silently follows and mutes every valid remote-listed newsletter through the authenticated WhatsApp session. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only rejects Node.js versions below 20., No runtime dependency on the package's own name is declared., Media upload helpers are callable utilities rather than install-time behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to noxleyss@1.1.7. - Avoid installing noxleyss@1.1.7. 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.
