@whalent/agent@0.3.371
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe unrestricted pairing of an existing agent token with an operator-configured gateway is a concrete conditional credential-exposure risk. There is no evidence of covert installation or a confirmed malicious export, so blocking is not warranted.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the whalent command with gateway and token environment variables set.
Impact
A caller who points the gateway at an untrusted service could conditionally expose an existing agent token.
Mechanism
The core reads gateway and token environment variables in the same active runtime configuration path; the gateway is not visibly restricted in the inspected code.
AI rationale
The unrestricted pairing of an existing agent token with an operator-configured gateway is a concrete conditional credential-exposure risk. There is no evidence of covert installation or a confirmed malicious export, so blocking is not warranted.
Evidence
dist/index.cjsdist/core.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 80.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package has no npm install lifecycle hook; its published executable is dist/index.cjs.
- The executable invokes the core runtime for normal commands and performs its wrapper update only after that user-invoked path begins.
- The core accepts both a caller-configured gateway and a Codex agent token from environment variables without visible destination validation in this configuration path.
Evidence against
- I found no install-time hook, hidden default endpoint, or confirmed request sink that sends the token to an unrelated recipient.
