After connection, the package downloads a remote target list and follows then mutes those newsletters using the authenticated account. - **Trigger:** Create the default socket and establish a WhatsApp connection. - **Impact:** Unconsented manipulation of the user's WhatsApp account; author can change targets remotely. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/index.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T14:57:58.710Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-controlled automatic newsletter follow and mute actions. - **Attack narrative:** The exported socket construction reaches makeNewsletterSocket. Its connection-update handler waits 30 seconds after a successful WhatsApp login, fetches a remotely controlled JSON list, and issues FOLLOW and MUTE newsletter operations for every listed ID through the logged-in account. This is hidden from the caller and can be retargeted without a package update. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, automatic, remotely directed manipulation of an authenticated user account during ordinary runtime. Its benign Node-version preinstall check does not mitigate that behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js, lib/Socket/index.js, package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LevviCodeID/Levi4than/refs/heads/main/levvleys.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js fetches an author-controlled GitHub JSON list., On every open WhatsApp connection it follows and mutes each listed newsletter., The behavior is wired into the default socket chain via lib/Socket/messages-send.js., The remote list controls target accounts without an application-user action. - **Evidence against:** engine-requirements.js preinstall only rejects Node versions below 20., package.json prepare only prints text; no install-time payload execution found., messages-media.js dynamic import and ffmpeg use are media-processing features. ## Public findings ### 1.
