Installation can globally install dsh/pnpm and create a desktop launcher. Running that launcher registers this package as a dsh web-profile bundle and starts a loopback desktop shell; no exfiltration endpoint was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T01:55:29.123Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T01:56:38.676Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 626 ms - **AI review time:** 68162 ms - **Total time:** 69553 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation can globally install dsh/pnpm and create a desktop launcher. Running that launcher registers this package as a dsh web-profile bundle and starts a loopback desktop shell; no exfiltration endpoint was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; then the created shortcut or dsh-hub command. - **Impact:** Unexpected install-time system changes and later opt-in agent-extension activation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/launcher.mjs, cordis.patch.yml, lib/index.js, lib/services/workspace-api.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T01:56:38.676Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** desktop launcher and gated dsh profile-bundle registration - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malicious behavior, but it has unconsented postinstall side effects and an explicit launcher that registers an agent-platform extension. The registration is gated to the package’s own launch path and no exfiltration was identified. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/launcher.mjs, bin/launcher.vbs, cordis.patch.yml, lib/index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically globally installs dsh when absent., postinstall creates a Windows desktop shortcut and hidden VBS launcher., The user-invoked launcher junctions this package into the dsh web profile and registers its bundle., Plugin activation is gated by DSH\_HUB\_LAUNCHED=1. - **Evidence against:** No remote URLs, credential harvesting, or exfiltration code found., Client requests target package-owned same-origin API routes; desktop UI uses loopback., Profile modification occurs from the shortcut/CLI launcher, not the npm lifecycle hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
