It also mutes the subscribed channels. - **Trigger:** Creating the exported socket and opening an authenticated connection; execution starts after 30 seconds. - **Impact:** Unauthorized account subscription changes and suppressed notifications for remotely selected channels. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T11:49:41.615Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetch remote newsletter identifiers, then issue follow and mute queries through the existing authenticated socket without an opt-in check. - **Attack narrative:** The normal socket constructor installs a connection listener that waits 30 seconds after connection opens. It retrieves newsletter identifiers from a remote JSON file and uses the connected account to follow and mute those channels. The remote list controls the targets, and the automatic caller provides no consent gate. - **Rationale:** Source proves automatic, unconsented account mutation directed by a remote channel list, with muting that suppresses notifications. This concrete attack supports blocking independently of the noisy scanner findings. - **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 block:** The exported socket constructor activates the newsletter socket through the business, receive, and send layers., lib/Socket/newsletter.js fetches a remotely controlled list of newsletter identifiers., The package follows each selected newsletter and then mutes it using the connected account., An open connection automatically starts this behavior after 30 seconds, without a consent gate. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall script only enforces Node.js 20 or newer., The flagged media execution uses FFmpeg and a fixed optional audio-module import. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to parxleys@1.0.0. - Avoid installing parxleys@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
