No concrete malicious install-time chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T22:39:00.010Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T22:40:05.439Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 415 ms - **AI review time:** 64504 ms - **Total time:** 65429 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked daemon can copy Codex credentials, install managed skills into Codex runtime homes, and establish platform-directed remote-access tunnels. No concrete malicious install-time chain was found. - **Trigger:** Running the whalent CLI/daemon with a token - **Impact:** A compromised or abusive platform control plane could alter agent runtime skills, access copied credentials, or proxy approved local services. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/preinstall-check.cjs, README.md, 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:** platform-managed AI-agent configuration and remote-access relay - **Rationale:** This is not proven malware: no install-time mutation, stealth payload, or concrete credential exfiltration was established. Its obfuscated, platform-controlled credential and remote-access capabilities warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** $CODEX\_HOME/auth.json, $CODEX\_HOME/config.toml, ~/.whalent-agent/agents/\/codex, $CODEX\_HOME/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://memory.whalent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/core.cjs is deliberately obfuscated, Runtime copies Codex auth.json into agent-scoped homes, Runtime syncs platform-managed skills into Codex homes, RemoteAccessManager opens TCP/RDP/VNC relay tunnels and forwards data, README documents gateway-issued remote upgrade/restart commands - **Evidence against:** scripts/preinstall-check.cjs only rejects Node versions below 20, No postinstall hook or install-time network/file mutation found, Networked daemon behavior requires explicit whalent CLI execution and token ## Public findings ### 1.
