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 has no install-time lifecycle hook, and the inspected dynamic-code match is consistent with bundled proxy resolution. The main CLI remains substantially obfuscated, leaving enough unresolved runtime risk to warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict or a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T19:03:30.906Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T19:04:46.767Z - **Download time:** 2834 ms - **Static scan time:** 2001 ms - **AI review time:** 71024 ms - **Total time:** 75861 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 behavior was established. The obfuscated executable leaves runtime behavior difficult to assess, so a warning is appropriate. - **Trigger:** Launching the package CLI through its configured entrypoint. - **Impact:** The opaque runtime behavior leaves unresolved risk, but no specific compromise or harmful effect was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T19:04:46.767Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI uses runtime string decoding and includes npm command execution; the inspected excerpts do not establish harmful command arguments or a malicious payload. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time lifecycle hook, and the inspected dynamic-code match is consistent with bundled proxy resolution. The main CLI remains substantially obfuscated, leaving enough unresolved runtime risk to warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict or a block. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, dist/mcp.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published CLI entrypoint is heavily obfuscated, including a decoder that reconstructs strings at runtime, which limits review of its behavior., The CLI contains code that runs npm commands to retrieve package version information; its full behavior is difficult to assess in the obfuscated bundle. - **Evidence against:** The manifest lists only a publishing-time build hook, not an install-time hook., The dynamic function construction found in the MCP bundle is inside bundled PAC resolver code, consistent with evaluating proxy configuration; it does not establish a payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.528. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.528 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.
