AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection confirms an automatic, publisher-selected change to the connected account: the socket construction path schedules a follow request for a fixed newsletter. This concrete unsolicited account action supports blocking publication.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A consumer calls makeWASocket and constructs the socket; a timer fires two minutes later.

Impact

The connected WhatsApp account is made to follow a newsletter the caller did not select.

Mechanism

The newsletter socket sends a FOLLOW query for a hardcoded newsletter ID without caller input or an affirmative consent check.

Attack narrative

When an application constructs the exported WhatsApp socket, the package schedules a request for two minutes later that follows a hardcoded newsletter. The request is sent over the WhatsApp service connection and does not depend on the application choosing that newsletter or affirmatively requesting the follow action.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

The package entry point exports makeWASocket, which constructs the registration, business, receive, and send socket layers.
Constructing the send socket creates the newsletter socket, whose constructor schedules a follow request for a fixed newsletter ID after two minutes.
The scheduled request uses the FOLLOW query ID and sends a WhatsApp service query; the code does not require a caller-selected newsletter or explicit consent.
The request targets the WhatsApp service address ending in @s.whatsapp.net.

Evidence against

The preinstall hook only checks the Node.js version; it does not perform the account action.
