@whalent/agent@0.3.381
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not proven malware because it has no install-time hook or verified malicious action. Deliberate full-runtime obfuscation around a process-launching remote-agent CLI leaves a material unresolved risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the whalent CLI.
Impact
An operator cannot independently verify what commands or local resources the daemon controls.
Mechanism
Obfuscated main runtime with child-process capability.
AI rationale
This is not proven malware because it has no install-time hook or verified malicious action. Deliberate full-runtime obfuscation around a process-launching remote-agent CLI leaves a material unresolved risk.
Evidence
dist/index.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The published CLI entrypoint is deliberately obfuscated, preventing reliable static verification of its behavior.
- The obfuscated entrypoint imports child-process support and invokes its main routine when the CLI runs.
- The package text describes a daemon that receives configurations and remote upgrade or restart commands; this remains unverified because the executable source is opaque.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- The manifest does not runtime-depend on its own package name.
- No concrete credential theft, destructive operation, or exfiltration endpoint was established from readable source.
