Core runtime for Whalent Agent
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent integration code resolves a skill directory and guards file paths before writing supplied skill files. Obfuscation limits assurance, but the inspected source does not establish an attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The package manifest shows no npm install-time hook; the skill installer is runtime code.
Impact
No malicious effect was established in the inspected path.
Mechanism
It selects a platform skill directory and checks resolved paths before writing supplied files.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent integration code resolves a skill directory and guards file paths before writing supplied skill files. Obfuscation limits assurance, but the inspected source does not establish an attack.
Evidence
dist/mcp.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 74.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no npm lifecycle hook and points to a runtime entrypoint.
- The flagged mcp code selects agent skill locations using the home directory and supplied platform settings.
- The skill writer checks resolved paths and skips unsafe file paths.
- The installer writes supplied skill files into the selected skill directory.
Evidence against
- The distributed bundles are heavily obfuscated, which limits confidence in static interpretation.
