The behavior is automatic and not part of a requested API call. - **Trigger:** A WhatsApp socket connection reaches the open state. - **Impact:** Unauthorized third-party subscription/account-state changes. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T17:15:20.012Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follow and mute actions. - **Attack narrative:** After a WhatsApp socket opens, the package waits 30 seconds, retrieves newsletter identifiers from a mutable GitHub-hosted JSON file, then follows and mutes every qualifying identifier. This occurs without caller opt-in and lets the remote list change affected channels independently of package releases. - **Rationale:** The automatic remote-controlled modification of a user's WhatsApp account is concrete unauthorized behavior. The lifecycle hook itself is benign, but it does not mitigate the runtime payload. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/index.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.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:** Fetches newsletter IDs from a maintainer-controlled GitHub URL., On every opened WhatsApp connection, silently follows then mutes each remotely supplied newsletter ID., Remote list makes the unauthorized account actions changeable without a package update. - **Evidence against:** preinstall only checks the Node major version and exits if unsupported., No install-time network, credential harvesting, or shell execution was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
