This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T13:40:46.653Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T13:41:51.757Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 219 ms - **AI review time:** 64128 ms - **Total time:** 65104 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** After explicit daemon startup, the package connects to a platform/gateway, retrieves agent configuration, receives limited remote lifecycle commands, and activates downloaded helper releases. No install-time attack surface was found. - **Trigger:** User runs \`whalent --token \\`. - **Impact:** A trusted platform or configured gateway can influence agent workers and update helper binaries. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T13:41:51.757Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote agent orchestration and helper-update activation. - **Rationale:** The obfuscated CLI and remote helper/update control plane create a real dangerous capability requiring a warning. Source inspection found no unconsented install-time execution, credential theft, or concrete malicious payload chain. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs, ~/.whalent-agent/helpers/sqlite - **Network endpoints:** https://memory.whalent.com, wss://your-server/gw/sdk/ws ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Obfuscated executable CLI bundle impedes audit., Daemon downloads and activates helper manifests on a recurring schedule., User-started daemon fetches agent configuration and accepts gateway upgrade/restart commands., Daemon supports a user-supplied WebSocket gateway. - **Evidence against:** Manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly builds., Documented network/update behavior is activated by running \`whalent --token\`, not package installation., No concrete credential-exfiltration or destructive chain was confirmed in inspected files. ## Public findings ### 1.
