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 a heavily obfuscated executable as its main entry point and command target, while the inspected source did not establish a concrete attack. This unresolved runtime risk supports a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T06:02:12.040Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:02:56.421Z - **Download time:** 4071 ms - **Static scan time:** 2045 ms - **AI review time:** 38263 ms - **Total time:** 44381 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 executable entry point and bundled components are heavily obfuscated, leaving runtime behavior unresolved. No concrete attack was established from the inspected excerpts. - **Trigger:** Running one of the package commands that invokes dist/index.cjs. - **Impact:** Potential runtime risk remains unresolved; no specific harmful effect was verified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:02:56.421Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated executable code prevents a reliable static account of the complete runtime behavior. - **Rationale:** The package exposes a heavily obfuscated executable as its main entry point and command target, while the inspected source did not establish a concrete attack. This unresolved runtime risk supports a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs, dist/core.cjs ### 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 executable commands., The published prepublishOnly hook runs the package build script; it is not an install lifecycle hook., The executable entry point and bundled MCP and core files begin with heavily obfuscated code, and static inspection did not resolve their full behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.527. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.527 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.
