shadowx-fca@10.8.0

SHADOWX-FCA — Facebook Messenger API for Node.js — Fast, Secure, and Feature-Rich. Forked by Mueid Mursalin Rifat.

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Required high-severity paths are Facebook-aligned Messenger API code, and package.json has no install lifecycle. Scanner malware-similarity and cookie-exfil labels are noisy leftovers from this FCA fork’s product surface, not a live attack chain.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A consumer calls login() or other documented API methods after install.

Impact

No confirmed malicious impact in this package snapshot.

Mechanism

Unofficial Messenger session and GraphQL client

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks; only test and lint scripts.
e2ee/vendor/fb-e2ee.cjs sends session cookies to Facebook E2EE registration at reg-e2ee.facebook.com, not a package-controlled receiver.
src/api/messaging/story.js posts story replies to Facebook GraphQL.
src/api/action/getAccess.js reads access tokens from business.facebook.com after two-factor reauth.
src/api/messaging/notes.js creates and reads Messenger notes through Facebook GraphQL.
src/api/threads/getThreadInfo.js and src/api/messaging/uploadAttachment.js call Facebook graphqlbatch and mercury upload endpoints.

Evidence against

Scanner similarity hits match ordinary unofficial Messenger API methods, not a remaining steal/exfil payload.
loginViaAPI can POST email and password only when the operator sets apiServer; the default is empty and the code refuses a silent third-party sink.
Remote control is off by default with an empty URL; auto-update is a no-op stub.
User-callable httpGet/httpPost use a domain-scoped cookie jar rather than copying Facebook cookies onto arbitrary hosts.
