The remote list lets the publisher change targets without a package update. - **Trigger:** Application creates a socket and its WhatsApp connection reaches open state. - **Impact:** Unauthorized modification of the user’s WhatsApp newsletter subscriptions. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T17:15:37.774Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote-configured silent newsletter follows and mutes - **Attack narrative:** The socket construction chain creates the newsletter socket. Once the user’s WhatsApp session connects, a delayed handler downloads a publisher-controlled list of newsletter JIDs, then follows and mutes each one through the authenticated WhatsApp session. This is hidden account manipulation unrelated to the library’s requested messaging function and is remotely targetable. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a concrete, automatic, remotely controlled action on the user’s authenticated WhatsApp account. The install hook itself is benign, but does not mitigate the runtime payload. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxXza/data/refs/heads/main/noxleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** On WhatsApp connection, it fetches creator-controlled newsletter IDs., It silently follows and mutes every remotely supplied newsletter., The behavior is automatically scheduled after connection opens., Normal socket construction invokes the modified newsletter socket. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only enforces Node.js 20+., The dynamic import is confined to optional audio decoding. ## Public findings ### 1.
