@whalent/agent@0.3.451
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious data-flow. The runtime updater is package-aligned and activates through the user-invoked CLI, not package installation.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the whalent CLI.
Impact
No confirmed credential theft, destructive action, or foreign agent-control mutation was established.
Mechanism
The bundled CLI can check and update its own wrapper; no install-time lifecycle trigger was found.
AI rationale
Static inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious data-flow. The runtime updater is package-aligned and activates through the user-invoked CLI, not package installation.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Package metadata makes dist/index.cjs the CLI and main entrypoint.
- The only publish-related lifecycle script is prepublishOnly; there is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The CLI bundle has environment controls to skip its wrapper update check.
Evidence against
- The distributed CLI bundle is obfuscated and includes a package-aligned global wrapper update capability, which limits auditability.
