Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.3.524 - **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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T23:45:28.322Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T23:46:01.003Z - **Download time:** 3062 ms - **Static scan time:** 1921 ms - **AI review time:** 27697 ms - **Total time:** 32681 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. Heavy obfuscation in the published entry and MCP bundles leaves runtime behavior unresolved. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T23:46:01.003Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.524. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.524 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.
