High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package installs a \`whalent\` CLI daemon that opens a persistent WebSocket connection (\`wss://\`) to a Whalent Memory gateway and, per its own README, accepts remote commands including 'upgrade' and 'restart' from that gateway. \`dist/index.cjs\` contains an \`npmInstallCommand\` builder that assembles \`npm install -g @whalent/agent@\ --registry=\\` strings driven by the gateway's chosen version — meaning whoever controls (or compromises) the gateway can cause the daemon's host to install and execute an arbitrary version of the package as the user running the daemon. The core bundle additionally references \`process.env.SHELL\` and localhost RDP/VNC ports (127.0.0.1:3389, 5900, 5901), and the dependency set includes \`@xterm/headless\`, \`node-pty\` (optional), \`ssh2\`, and \`ws\`, indicating terminal/PTY and remote-session capability reachable from the same gateway channel. Both \`dist/index.cjs\` (main/bin entry) and the 13 MB \`dist/core.cjs\` are transformed with javascript-obfuscator (string-array rotator, \`\_0x\`-named helpers, control-flow flattening), and \`javascript-obfuscator\` is listed in devDependencies — the obfuscation covers the gateway command dispatcher and shell sinks. The daemon fires only when the operator explicitly runs \`whalent --token …\`, not on \`npm install\` or on \`require()\`, but once running it provides a network-reachable code-execution and shell surface on the host controlled by the gateway operator. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall, prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 10 - **Optional dependencies:** 2 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 8 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 12 ### Published dependency entries - @agentclientprotocol/sdk ^1.2.1 (Dependency) - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.27.1 (Dependency) - @opencode-ai/sdk ^1.17.15 (Dependency) - @xterm/headless ^6.0.0 (Dependency) - proxy-agent ^7.0.0 (Dependency) - socks-proxy-agent ^10.0.0 (Dependency) - ssh2 ^1.17.0 (Dependency) - undici ^6.25.0 (Dependency) - ws ^8.16.0 (Dependency) - yaml ^2.4.0 (Dependency) - @whalent/agent-core 0.3.241 (OptionalDependency) - node-pty ^1.1.0 (OptionalDependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @whalent/agent - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.3.241 - **License:** UNLICENSED - **Version published:** 2026-07-21T08:01:44.075Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T21:33:09.253Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-15T11:58:09.156Z - **Known versions:** 83 - **Latest version:** 0.3.338 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime - **Maintainers:** whalent - **Keywords:** whalent, agent, codex, claude, kimi, acp, ai - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=20.0.0 - **Artifact files:** 5 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 13,413,294 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
