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. Source inspection confirms an automatic, publisher-selected account action reachable through the package’s exported socket factory. This concrete behavior supports blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T22:51:33.701Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T22:52:41.320Z - **Download time:** 1549 ms - **Static scan time:** 9221 ms - **AI review time:** 56849 ms - **Total time:** 67619 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Creating the exported WhatsApp socket schedules automatic follow requests to two fixed newsletters. This can change the connected account’s subscriptions without a caller selecting those newsletters. - **Trigger:** A caller creates a socket through the exported factory; the timer runs two minutes later. - **Impact:** A connected account may be made to follow publisher-selected newsletters without the user requesting those actions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/registration.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Types/Newsletter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T22:52:41.320Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The newsletter socket sends FOLLOW queries for two hard-coded newsletter IDs and suppresses request errors. - **Attack narrative:** The normal socket factory reaches the newsletter socket, which schedules follow requests for two fixed newsletters after a delay. These account changes are not tied to caller-selected targets, so using the library can alter a connected account’s subscriptions without the user requesting it. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatic, publisher-selected account action reachable through the package’s exported socket factory. This concrete behavior supports blocking publication. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/registration.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Types/Newsletter.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest selects lib/index.js, which exports the socket factory., The exported factory builds the registration and business socket layers, which lead through the message sockets to the newsletter socket., When the newsletter socket is constructed, a timer waits two minutes, then sends FOLLOW queries for two fixed newsletter IDs., The query helper sends a WhatsApp protocol query; its query ID is mapped to the FOLLOW action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to raiden-baileys@2.1.2. - Avoid installing raiden-baileys@2.1.2. 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.
