Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Under Review - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.3.509 - **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest shows no install-time execution hook, but obfuscated runtime and agent-integration paths prevent resolving behavior and consent. Manual review is warranted without a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 65.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T18:07:44.578Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T18:09:48.101Z - **Download time:** 1522 ms - **Static scan time:** 2881 ms - **AI review time:** 119118 ms - **Total time:** 123523 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 concrete attack was established. Obfuscation leaves runtime and agent integration behavior unresolved. - **Trigger:** Unknown; no npm install lifecycle trigger was found. - **Impact:** Potential runtime effects could not be determined from the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T18:09:48.101Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI and MCP bundles obscure behavior and activation paths, including a skill-file writer helper. - **Rationale:** The manifest shows no install-time execution hook, but obfuscated runtime and agent-integration paths prevent resolving behavior and consent. Manual review is warranted without a confirmed attack. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 65.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json exposes a CLI and lists \`prepublishOnly\` as a build command, with no npm install lifecycle hook., dist/index.cjs parses command-line arguments, but its obfuscated dispatch does not make the runtime behavior clear., dist/mcp.cjs selects agent directories and contains a skill-file writer helper; its caller and consent path remain unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The manifest shows no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.509. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.509 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.
