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:** Manual Review - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Under Review - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.3.526 - **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no install hook, and inspected MCP behavior does not establish an attack. The main executable exceeds the available verification limit, so its behavior cannot be resolved sufficiently to mark the package clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T04:23:10.189Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T04:24:26.698Z - **Download time:** 3580 ms - **Static scan time:** 1562 ms - **AI review time:** 71366 ms - **Total time:** 76509 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 concrete attack was established in the inspected source. The main executable remains unresolved because it exceeds the available source verification limit. - **Trigger:** Launching the package’s CLI entrypoint; its full behavior could not be inspected. - **Impact:** No harmful impact was confirmed; the unresolved executable prevents a clean verdict. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T04:24:26.698Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected MCP bundle contains validator code generation and public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers, but neither establishes an attack. The larger CLI bundle remains unresolved. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and inspected MCP behavior does not establish an attack. The main executable exceeds the available verification limit, so its behavior cannot be resolved sufficiently to mark the package clean. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Network endpoints:** https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query, https://dns.google/resolve ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json lists the CLI entrypoint and dependencies, with no lifecycle scripts., dist/mcp.cjs uses generated functions while compiling validators; the inspected excerpt does not establish remote payload execution., dist/mcp.cjs includes Cloudflare and Google DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers., The main executable exceeds the citation verifier’s 16 MiB limit, leaving its complete behavior unresolved. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent-core@0.3.526. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent-core@0.3.526 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.
