@whalent/agent@0.3.443
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected package metadata has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and the executable behavior is user-invoked. Obfuscation is a transparency concern but does not alone establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the whalent CLI.
Impact
No unconsented install-time mutation, credential export, or destructive action was identified.
Mechanism
The entrypoint locates and starts its core runtime as a child process.
AI rationale
The inspected package metadata has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and the executable behavior is user-invoked. Obfuscation is a transparency concern but does not alone establish malicious behavior.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 72.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package metadata defines build and prepublish scripts but no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI entrypoint launches a located core script only when the user runs the command.
Evidence against
- The distributed JavaScript is heavily obfuscated, reducing source transparency.
