Postinstall performs unprompted global prerequisite installation. A user-launched shortcut then registers this package as a DSH web-profile bundle. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T13:11:49.989Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T13:13:17.755Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 1098 ms - **AI review time:** 86159 ms - **Total time:** 87766 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall performs unprompted global prerequisite installation. A user-launched shortcut then registers this package as a DSH web-profile bundle. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; then the desktop shortcut or dsh-hub command - **Impact:** Adds global tools and a package-owned DSH extension; no exfiltration or remote-code path was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/launcher.mjs, cordis.patch.yml, lib/index.js, src/services/workspace-api.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T13:13:17.755Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global CLI installation plus DSH profile bundle registration - **Rationale:** This is invasive lifecycle and agent-extension setup, but source inspection found no concrete malicious chain. The profile mutation is package-owned and occurs only after user activation. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/launcher.vbs, $DSH\_HOME/profiles/web/package.json, $DSH\_HOME/profiles/web/node\_modules/dsh-hub ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall automatically installs @deepseek-ai/dsh globally when absent., The same postinstall automatically installs pnpm globally when absent., The desktop launcher creates a junction and writes this bundle into DSH’s web-profile manifest. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, remote payload retrieval, or exfiltration was found., Runtime client requests are same-origin /api/dsh-hub routes; no relevant external endpoint was found., Plugin mounting is gated on DSH\_HUB\_LAUNCHED, leaving ordinary dsh web launches unmodified. ## Public findings ### 1.
