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 active, heavily obfuscated runtime leaves a real unresolved execution risk, supporting a warning rather than a clean verdict. No concrete malicious chain was established, and the inspected MCP compilation does not substantiate the scanner's payload-loader claim. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 65.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T11:57:32.664Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T11:59:04.563Z - **Download time:** 3063 ms - **Static scan time:** 2748 ms - **AI review time:** 86087 ms - **Total time:** 91899 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 wrapper executes an extensively obfuscated core runtime with the inherited environment. Its behavior remains unresolved; inspected source does not establish a confirmed attack. - **Trigger:** Running or importing dist/index.cjs invokes its main function and core execution path. - **Impact:** The runtime receives the caller's environment and execution privileges; malicious use of that access was not established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T11:59:04.563Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The wrapper selects a core script and launches it through child\_process while forwarding process.env. - **Rationale:** The active, heavily obfuscated runtime leaves a real unresolved execution risk, supporting a warning rather than a clean verdict. No concrete malicious chain was established, and the inspected MCP compilation does not substantiate the scanner's payload-loader claim. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 65.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for warning:** The active wrapper launches a selected core script through child\_process and forwards the process environment; extensive string obfuscation obscures this execution path., dist/core.cjs contains extensive obfuscation and exceeds the inspection tool's source limit, leaving the launched runtime's behavior unresolved., package.json has no registry-install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The inspected dynamic compilation in dist/mcp.cjs builds schema validation code, which does not establish a hidden payload loader. - **Evidence against:** No concrete exfiltration, destructive action, or unconsented agent configuration mutation was established., Child processes and authenticated platform requests are consistent with an agent CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.486. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.486 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.
