This mutates the user's authenticated WhatsApp account without an explicit API call. - **Trigger:** Opening a WhatsApp connection through the package - **Impact:** Unauthorized account subscriptions and externally controlled account actions - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/messages.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T14:57:47.745Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Delayed remote-controlled auto-follow and mute loop - **Attack narrative:** After a connection opens, lib/Socket/newsletter.js waits 30 seconds, downloads newsletter IDs from a GitHub-controlled JSON file, then follows and mutes each ID through the authenticated WhatsApp session. The target list can change remotely and requires no user request. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, remote-controlled, unauthorized account-action chain at normal runtime. The lifecycle hook itself is benign, but does not mitigate the runtime behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LevviCodeID/Levi4than/refs/heads/main/levvleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js auto-runs on connection open., It fetches a remote-controlled newsletter ID list., It follows and mutes every listed newsletter using the authenticated account., Remote list permits operator-selected targets without user input. - **Evidence against:** preinstall only enforces Node.js \>=20., Other flagged eval/spawn use is media-processing functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
