@whalent/agent@0.3.383
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo install-time malicious chain or confirmed exfiltration was found, but the shipped executable behavior is materially obscured. Treat it as suspicious until a transparent build can be reviewed.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the whalent command.
Impact
The runtime may access the user environment and execute agent-related functionality, but no concrete malicious action was proven.
Mechanism
Obfuscated CLI launcher, updater, and supervised core runtime.
AI rationale
No install-time malicious chain or confirmed exfiltration was found, but the shipped executable behavior is materially obscured. Treat it as suspicious until a transparent build can be reviewed.
Evidence
dist/index.cjsdist/core.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The executable entrypoint is deliberately obfuscated, preventing meaningful verification of its runtime behavior.
- The obfuscated launcher visibly invokes persistence prompting, wrapper updating, and core supervision routines.
- The package ships a 15 MB obfuscated core runtime with process, environment, network, SSH, and agent-control related primitives.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is not run for normal consumers.
- There is no runtime dependency on this same package name.
- No concrete credential theft, exfiltration endpoint, destructive action, or automatic foreign agent-config mutation was established from the inspected source.
