noxleyss@2.0.0
WhatsApp Web API Library
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source shows automatic, publisher-selected changes to the authenticated WhatsApp account on connection. This is concrete account-action behavior and warrants blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A WhatsApp connection opens; the newsletter setup runs after a delay, and the message-receive handler also runs its scheduled actions.
Impact
The authenticated WhatsApp account is made to follow and mute publisher-selected channels.
Mechanism
The code fetches channel IDs from a remote JSON file and sends follow and mute actions for accepted IDs without a per-action user request.
Attack narrative
On the ordinary socket path, opening a connection schedules a fetch of channel IDs from a publisher-controlled GitHub file. The package then follows and mutes the listed channels without asking the user. A second connection handler also issues follow and mute actions for encoded channel IDs.
AI rationale
Inspected source shows automatic, publisher-selected changes to the authenticated WhatsApp account on connection. This is concrete account-action behavior and warrants blocking publication.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The public makeWASocket entrypoint builds the standard business and message socket layers that include the flagged behavior.
- When the newsletter socket receives an open connection event, it schedules automatic channel setup after 30 seconds.
- That setup fetches channel IDs from a publisher-controlled GitHub URL, then follows and mutes each accepted channel ID.
- The message-receive socket also calls newsletter follow and mute methods automatically after a connection opens, using encoded channel IDs.
