@whalent/agent@0.3.413
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is unusually opaque and has powerful runtime behavior, but source inspection found no automatic registry-install execution or concrete malicious action. The observed behavior is tied to its declared CLI entry point.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the whalent CLI.
Impact
The invoked CLI can manage its own runtime, but no unconsented install hook or concrete exfiltration behavior was established.
Mechanism
Obfuscated agent wrapper with runtime update and child-process supervision.
AI rationale
The package is unusually opaque and has powerful runtime behavior, but source inspection found no automatic registry-install execution or concrete malicious action. The observed behavior is tied to its declared CLI entry point.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The CLI entry point is heavily obfuscated and invokes persistence, self-update, and supervision logic when the user runs it.
- The package can launch its bundled core as a child process.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- The entry point is a declared user-invoked bin command, not an import-time installer.
- No self-dependency on @whalent/agent, credential harvesting, or concrete secret-exfiltration path was established from the inspected source.
