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 package exposes heavily obfuscated runtime bundles, and static inspection did not resolve their behavior well enough to establish a concrete attack. The manifest shows only a build-time prepublishOnly hook and declares an obfuscation tool, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T00:42:14.589Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T00:42:55.814Z - **Download time:** 1524 ms - **Static scan time:** 1901 ms - **AI review time:** 37799 ms - **Total time:** 41225 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 package’s exposed CLI entry point and MCP bundle contain heavily obfuscated code, leaving runtime behavior unresolved after static inspection. No specific attack was confirmed. - **Trigger:** Launching a packaged CLI command or loading the package entry point. - **Impact:** No harmful effect was confirmed; the obfuscation prevents a reliable assessment of the shipped behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T00:42:55.814Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque string-table decoding and computed names obscure runtime code paths. - **Rationale:** The package exposes heavily obfuscated runtime bundles, and static inspection did not resolve their behavior well enough to establish a concrete attack. The manifest shows only a build-time prepublishOnly hook and declares an obfuscation tool, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes dist/index.cjs as its main entry point and three CLI commands., The shipped entry point and MCP bundle begin with opaque string-table decoder code, which limits review of their runtime behavior., The manifest lists a JavaScript obfuscation tool as a development dependency, so the obfuscation may be intentional., The only manifest lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build script. - **Evidence against:** The manifest does not show a preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its prepublishOnly hook runs a build command., The manifest’s obfuscation dependency offers a benign explanation for the opaque output, but does not resolve what the shipped code does. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.514. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.514 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.
