Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook, and the required entrypoint shows command-triggered runtime behavior. Obfuscation and agent capabilities warrant caution but do not establish an active attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T06:37:31.153Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T06:46:44.742Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 209 ms - **AI review time:** 552876 ms - **Total time:** 553589 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was identified. The package is a CLI agent runtime rather than an install-time hook. - **Trigger:** A user runs the whalent command. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, credential exfiltration, or destructive behavior was confirmed. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T06:46:44.742Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI starts or supervises its core runtime and may check for a wrapper update during that command execution. - **Rationale:** The inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook, and the required entrypoint shows command-triggered runtime behavior. Obfuscation and agent capabilities warrant caution but do not establish an active attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes dist/index.cjs as the whalent command entrypoint., The entrypoint's update logic is reached from its CLI main function and prevents a repeated update attempt within the restarted process. - **Evidence against:** The command entrypoint is heavily obfuscated, which reduces source transparency., The package is an agent runtime and invokes child processes as part of its command functionality. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.435. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.435 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.
