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. When a WhatsApp connection opens, the package silently obtains a remote list of newsletters and changes the connected account to follow and mute them. The remote list lets the author alter targets without a package update. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T13:06:04.939Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T13:07:05.858Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 5604 ms - **AI review time:** 54803 ms - **Total time:** 60919 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The remote list lets the author alter targets without a package update. - **Trigger:** A consumer opens a WhatsApp connection using the newsletter socket. - **Impact:** Unauthorized changes to the connected WhatsApp account's newsletter subscriptions. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T13:07:05.858Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter subscription and muting. - **Attack narrative:** After a WhatsApp connection opens, the package waits 30 seconds, downloads newsletter IDs from an author-controlled GitHub file, and silently follows then mutes each supplied newsletter. This is an unconsented account action controlled by remote data and is unrelated to normal socket operation. - **Rationale:** The automatic, remotely controlled modification of a user's WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions is concrete malicious behavior. The benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate that runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Runtime code fetches newsletter IDs from an author-controlled GitHub URL., It follows every remotely supplied valid newsletter ID, then mutes it., The behavior starts automatically 30 seconds after a WhatsApp connection opens. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only enforces Node.js 20 or later., The flagged media and file APIs are used by explicit media-processing helpers. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to noxleyss@1.1.8. - Avoid installing noxleyss@1.1.8. 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.
