Core runtime for Whalent Agent
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and inspected MCP code includes ordinary agent tool handling. Extensive obfuscation in the executable bundle leaves unresolved risk, but the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the package CLI or starting its MCP server.
Impact
No concrete compromise or unauthorized action was established; hidden behavior remains difficult to rule out.
Mechanism
The bundle uses encoded identifiers and string indirection around DNS and agent tool logic.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and inspected MCP code includes ordinary agent tool handling. Extensive obfuscation in the executable bundle leaves unresolved risk, but the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.
Evidence
dist/mcp.cjspackage.json
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest points to dist/index.cjs and declares no lifecycle hooks.
- dist/mcp.cjs uses extensive encoded identifiers and string indirection, leaving behavior difficult to verify statically.
- The MCP bundle includes configurable DNS mapping and lookup logic.
- The MCP server exposes tool calls, including profile updates, through request handlers.
Evidence against
- The manifest lists only a single CLI entry and ordinary runtime dependencies.
- The inspected MCP code shows agent tool operations in an explicit request handler; no concrete hidden attack was established.
