@whalent/agent@0.3.437
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe observed behavior supports a guarded agent-extension lifecycle warning, not a confirmed attack. There is no install-time trigger or concrete malicious sink in the inspected source.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Executing or importing the dist/index.cjs entrypoint reaches main execution.
Impact
This presents guarded agent lifecycle risk, but no confirmed unauthorized persistence, data exposure, or destructive action was identified.
Mechanism
The entrypoint awaits ensurePersistencePrompt before continuing agent startup; the obfuscated bundle prevents confirming its configuration scope from this source excerpt.
AI rationale
The observed behavior supports a guarded agent-extension lifecycle warning, not a confirmed attack. There is no install-time trigger or concrete malicious sink in the inspected source.
Evidence
dist/index.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 71.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes dist/index.cjs as both its main entrypoint and whalent CLI.
- The runtime entrypoint invokes a function explicitly named ensurePersistencePrompt during main execution.
- The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
Evidence against
- The inspected source does not establish a persistence write, credential collection, exfiltration sink, or foreign agent-control-surface mutation.
- No runtime dependency selects another release of @whalent/agent.
