@whalent/agent@0.3.427
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo registry-install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious payload was found, so blocking is not supported. The opaque executable and agent-control capabilities leave a material unresolved runtime risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the whalent CLI or sending an execution request to its sidecar.
Impact
Opaque runtime behavior prevents ruling out broader local process or persistence effects.
Mechanism
Obfuscated agent supervision and requested kernel-code execution.
AI rationale
No registry-install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious payload was found, so blocking is not supported. The opaque executable and agent-control capabilities leave a material unresolved runtime risk.
Evidence
dist/index.cjsdist/jupyter_sidecar.py
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The published CLI entrypoint is deliberately obfuscated, preventing meaningful verification of its filesystem, process, and network behavior.
- When run, the wrapper invokes persistence prompting, update, and supervision routines.
- The runtime is an agent/daemon that launches a Jupyter kernel sidecar capable of executing supplied notebook code.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- No concrete credential exfiltration, destructive action, or install-time mutation was established from the inspected source.
