Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 0.3.471 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. This is a guarded agent-extension installation capability with remote content delivery, not evidence of automatic malware. The absence of an install lifecycle hook prevents a publish block, but the capability warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T05:29:21.809Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T05:30:27.172Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 1951 ms - **AI review time:** 62641 ms - **Total time:** 65363 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:** The MCP component can download and install skill files into AI-agent skill directories. No automatic install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the MCP skill installation capability. - **Impact:** A caller with access to this capability can add agent-executable skill content; no confirmed unconsented or install-time attack was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T05:30:27.172Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It fetches skill content using a bearer credential and writes returned files beneath a selected agent skill directory. - **Rationale:** This is a guarded agent-extension installation capability with remote content delivery, not evidence of automatic malware. The absence of an install lifecycle hook prevents a publish block, but the capability warrants a warning. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package metadata exposes a command-line entry point and contains no install lifecycle hook in its scripts., The MCP bundle accepts downloaded skill content and writes it into agent skill directories., The skill download request sends a bearer credential to the configured service URL. - **Evidence against:** The skill-file writer rejects absolute paths and paths escaping its selected skill directory., No automatic install-time execution was found in the package metadata. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.471. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.471 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.
