The target list can change without a package update. - **Trigger:** Consumer creates a default socket and its WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** Mutates the consumer’s WhatsApp account by following attacker-selected channels. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T17:15:32.567Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled silent WhatsApp newsletter subscription. - **Attack narrative:** The exported default socket composes the newsletter layer. Thirty seconds after a WhatsApp connection opens, that layer retrieves newsletter IDs from a maintainer-controlled GitHub URL and follows then mutes every valid listed ID. This is an unrequested account-side action with a remotely changeable target list. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic remote-controlled mutation of a user’s WhatsApp account, unrelated to the requested socket connection. The install hook is benign, but does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **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:** Default message socket includes newsletter layer., On every open connection it schedules auto-join., It fetches channel IDs from maintainer-controlled GitHub., It follows then mutes each remote-listed newsletter. - **Evidence against:** preinstall only enforces Node 20+., No install-time network, file, or agent-config mutation found. ## Public findings ### 1.
