@whalent/agent@0.3.449
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe absence of install hooks reduces supply-chain risk, but the executable entrypoint cannot be meaningfully audited because it is deliberately obfuscated. A warning is warranted for unresolved active-code risk, not a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running or importing the whalent CLI entrypoint.
Impact
Potential harmful behavior is unresolved; no concrete exfiltration, persistence, or destructive action was verified.
Mechanism
Obfuscated JavaScript decodes runtime identifiers through a string-array mechanism.
AI rationale
The absence of install hooks reduces supply-chain risk, but the executable entrypoint cannot be meaningfully audited because it is deliberately obfuscated. A warning is warranted for unresolved active-code risk, not a block.
Evidence
dist/index.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 72.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes dist/index.cjs as both its main module and the whalent command.
- The active entrypoint is heavily obfuscated, including a rotating string-array decoder, preventing reliable static tracing of its privileged runtime behavior.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- package.json does not declare a runtime dependency on its own package name.
