@whalent/agent@0.3.411
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo install lifecycle hook or self-dependency supports a publish block. The deliberately opaque executable and its update capability warrant a warning until a readable artifact is supplied.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the whalent command.
Impact
An update or command path cannot be fully verified from the obfuscated published artifact.
Mechanism
Obfuscated CLI wrapper with update and process-launch paths.
AI rationale
No install lifecycle hook or self-dependency supports a publish block. The deliberately opaque executable and its update capability warrant a warning until a readable artifact is supplied.
Evidence
dist/index.cjsdist/core.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The published CLI entry point is heavily obfuscated, making its filesystem and child-process behavior difficult to audit.
- The opaque wrapper contains update and npm-command routines that can run when a user launches the CLI.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The package has no runtime dependency on its own package name.
- No eval or Function use was found in dist/index.cjs.
- The readable Python sidecar is a local Jupyter-kernel NDJSON helper.
