WhatsApp Web API Library
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe public socket stack reaches this automatic account action, which uses publisher-selected remote targets and runs on connection without user consent. This is concrete unauthorized account modification and warrants blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The socket receives a connection-open event; the package waits 30 seconds before starting the action.
Impact
The user's account is made to follow and mute channels without consent.
Mechanism
It downloads a JSON list of channel IDs, filters for newsletter IDs, and sends follow and mute operations through the connected WhatsApp socket.
Attack narrative
When the WhatsApp connection opens, the newsletter socket waits 30 seconds, fetches a publisher-controlled list of channel IDs, and automatically follows and mutes each valid newsletter. The account changes are sent through the connected WhatsApp socket without a user request.
AI rationale
The public socket stack reaches this automatic account action, which uses publisher-selected remote targets and runs on connection without user consent. This is concrete unauthorized account modification 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 socket entry point reaches the receive and newsletter socket layers.
- When the connection opens, the newsletter layer schedules automatic channel joining after a delay.
- The package fetches newsletter IDs from a publisher-controlled URL, then follows and mutes each accepted ID.
- Those follow and mute operations are sent through the connected WhatsApp newsletter query.
- On connection open, a delayed handler loops over IDs and invokes two socket methods for each.
- After the WhatsApp success callback, the socket emits a connection update with connection set to open.
