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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T15:50:52.760Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T15:52:12.637Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 271 ms - **AI review time:** 78846 ms - **Total time:** 79877 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:** Launching the whalent CLI activates opaque wrapper code with update and command-execution capabilities. No automatic npm install-time trigger was found. - **Trigger:** A user runs the whalent command. - **Impact:** An update or command path cannot be fully verified from the obfuscated published artifact. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T15:52:12.637Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated CLI wrapper with update and process-launch paths. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.411. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.411 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.
