WAHA 2025.6 - Security in WAHA Core, Message Edit Event, and Media Conversion
June 29, 2025 in Releases by devlikeapro1 minute
🆕 What’s New?
🔒 Security in WAHA Core
WAHA Core now comes with robust, built-in security features!
You can protect your API with an API Key - and now, for even greater security, you can store only the hash of your key using WAHA_API_KEY=sha512:{HASH}
.
This means your API key is never stored in plain text, reducing the risk if your environment variables are exposed.
✏️ Message Edit Event
You can now track when a message is edited!
The new message.edited
event is available in WEBJS, GOWS, and NOWEB engines.
- NOWEB note: Edited protocol messages are now only available via
message.edited
(not inmessage
ormessage.any
).
