@whalent/agent@0.3.524
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package exposes heavily obfuscated runtime bundles, leaving meaningful behavior unresolved. The inspected source does not establish concrete attack behavior or an install-time attack, so a warning is appropriate.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the published command or importing the main entry point.
Impact
The available source evidence does not establish an attack, but the obscured runtime cannot be fully assessed from these excerpts.
Mechanism
The entry and MCP bundles use obfuscated identifiers and string indirection; the inspected excerpt also shows generated-function execution without enough surrounding context to determine its full behavior.
AI rationale
The package exposes heavily obfuscated runtime bundles, leaving meaningful behavior unresolved. The inspected source does not establish concrete attack behavior or an install-time attack, so a warning is appropriate.
Evidence
dist/index.cjsdist/mcp.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json exposes dist/index.cjs as the main entry point and three command names.
- The entry bundle and the MCP bundle use dense identifier and string indirection that limits behavior tracing.
- The MCP bundle contains generated-function execution; the inspected excerpt alone does not establish malicious behavior.
Evidence against
- package.json lists prepublishOnly, which runs a build; it does not list preinstall, install, or postinstall.
- The inspected source did not establish credential collection, an unrelated recipient, or a concrete attack.
