Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.3.522 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the inspected agent code is consistent with skill management. The dynamic-code match is generated validator compilation; scanner indicators alone do not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T17:26:46.943Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T17:27:54.067Z - **Download time:** 1266 ms - **Static scan time:** 1544 ms - **AI review time:** 64313 ms - **Total time:** 67124 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. The agent-related helpers support skill management in selected agent directories. - **Trigger:** No automatic install trigger is declared; the manifest provides package entrypoints. - **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect or unauthorized agent configuration change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T17:27:54.067Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The source resolves skill paths by scope and includes a helper that downloads skill files. The flagged dynamic code compiles generated validation code. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the inspected agent code is consistent with skill management. The dynamic-code match is generated validator compilation; scanner indicators alone do not establish malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares the package entrypoints and dependencies but no lifecycle scripts., The reported agent-related location selects standard agent directories and the home directory; it does not write configuration there., Skill helpers resolve install locations from the selected scope and download skill files, consistent with agent skill management., The dynamic Function use compiles generated validation code, consistent with a schema validator rather than a hidden payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent-core@0.3.522. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent-core@0.3.522 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
