This is a runtime updater, not install-time execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T22:05:05.479Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T22:06:08.175Z - **Download time:** 1298 ms - **Static scan time:** 7413 ms - **AI review time:** 53984 ms - **Total time:** 62696 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On CLI startup, the package checks its npm registry version and, for global installs, can silently spawn a detached global upgrade. This is a runtime updater, not install-time execution. - **Trigger:** User runs the globally installed dscode CLI. - **Impact:** Fetches and installs a newer package version; writes an update-status marker. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T22:06:08.175Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached npm global self-update - **Rationale:** The default background global self-update is a meaningful runtime supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not establish malicious intent or credential/data exfiltration. Static claims of remote-response code execution were not substantiated. - **Files touched:** ~/.agent/logs/auto-update.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@deepseekcode/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/cli.js checks npm registry on CLI startup., dist/cli.js default auto-update spawns detached npm install -g., Auto-update writes ~/.agent/logs/auto-update.json. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook., README.md documents the default auto-update and opt-out., Registry endpoint is package-aligned; no credential exfiltration found., Function uses are bundled dependency fallbacks, not remote-response execution. ## Public findings ### 1.
