Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The normal WhatsApp socket automatically follows remotely selected channels and mutes them. This is unsolicited manipulation of the connected user's account. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T11:47:10.849Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T11:49:11.190Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 4764 ms - **AI review time:** 115074 ms - **Total time:** 120341 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This is unsolicited manipulation of the connected user's account. - **Trigger:** A WhatsApp connection opens, followed by a 30-second timer. - **Impact:** Changes the user's channel subscriptions and notification settings without an explicit request. - **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:** 2026-10-03T11:49:11.190Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetch a remote JSON channel list and issue authenticated FOLLOW and MUTE queries for its entries. - **Attack narrative:** Creating the normal socket registers a connection listener. After the connection opens, the listener fetches an external channel list and uses the authenticated socket to follow and mute those channels. Remote list changes can therefore determine unsolicited account subscriptions without a separate user command. - **Rationale:** Source proves automatic, remotely directed account manipulation through the active socket entrypoint. The benign lifecycle and media-processing findings do not explain or neutralize this behavior. - **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 makeWASocket entrypoint reaches the newsletter socket through the business and message socket layers., The newsletter socket fetches channel identifiers from a fixed GitHub URL controlled outside the user's account., For each accepted channel identifier, the code sends FOLLOW and then MUTE requests using the connected account., A connection-open event automatically starts this behavior after 30 seconds, without an opt-in check. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js version; prepare prints a message., The flagged eval imports a fixed audio decoder, and FFmpeg is used for thumbnail generation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to parxleys@1.0.1. - Avoid installing parxleys@1.0.1. 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.
