Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T06:52:53.285Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T07:01:49.509Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 235 ms - **AI review time:** 534973 ms - **Total time:** 536224 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 attack was identified. The user-invoked CLI entrypoint is deliberately obfuscated, so its file, process, credential, and network behavior cannot be reliably established by static review. - **Trigger:** Running or importing the whalent CLI entrypoint. - **Impact:** Potential harmful behavior is unresolved; no concrete exfiltration, persistence, or destructive action was verified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T07:01:49.509Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated JavaScript decodes runtime identifiers through a string-array mechanism. - **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. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.449. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.449 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.
