Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T06:07:39.517Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T06:08:47.351Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 245 ms - **AI review time:** 66575 ms - **Total time:** 67834 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running the whalent CLI executes an obfuscated launcher and core runtime. Its persistence and update behavior cannot be safely verified from the distributed source. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T06:08:47.351Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated CLI launcher, updater, and supervised core runtime. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.383. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.383 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
