No malicious install-time behavior was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T22:39:13.126Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T22:40:05.439Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 427 ms - **AI review time:** 51375 ms - **Total time:** 52313 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When explicitly run with a token, the CLI connects to the Whalent gateway, imports AI-agent session history, and processes remote agent commands. No malicious install-time behavior was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs the whalent CLI/daemon with a token. - **Impact:** A gateway operator can receive synchronized AI-agent content and direct the running agent's capabilities. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, scripts/preinstall-check.cjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T22:40:05.439Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Gateway-controlled AI-agent orchestration and session-history synchronization. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a user-invoked remote agent with AI-history access and command capability, but not a covert install-time or unconsented attack chain. Obfuscation reduces auditability, so it should be warned rather than blocked. - **Files touched:** scripts/preinstall-check.cjs, dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs, ~/.whalent-agent - **Network endpoints:** https://memory.whalent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/index.cjs and dist/core.cjs are deliberately obfuscated., README states the daemon connects to a gateway and accepts remote commands., dist/core.cjs loads Codex/Claude session history and syncs messages after gateway connection., dist/core.cjs supports non-interactive operation awaiting remote commands. - **Evidence against:** scripts/preinstall-check.cjs only rejects Node versions below 20., No install-time network, file harvesting, or control-surface mutation was found., Network and agent behavior are declared in README and require explicit CLI execution/token., Observed runtime storage is under ~/.whalent-agent. ## Public findings ### 1.
