It can install an external AI-agent CLI and pnpm from a selected registry, then removes legacy global and desktop artifacts. - **Trigger:** npm install, which runs postinstall automatically. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter the user's global agent and package-management toolchain without an explicit command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T14:34:23.574Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle-driven global package installation and host file deletion. - **Attack narrative:** The package declares an automatic postinstall hook. On installation, it probes several registries and, if its prerequisite check fails, runs a global installation of @deepseek-ai/dsh; it separately installs pnpm globally when missing. The hook also removes selected files in the global npm prefix and may delete a desktop shortcut. This mutates a broad external AI-agent and package-management control surface without requiring the user to invoke a setup command. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook performs unconsented global installation of a separate AI-agent CLI and package manager, plus host cleanup. This is concrete install-time control-surface mutation, not a package-local build step. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/, https://registry.npmmirror.com, https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/repository/npm/, https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/npm/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script probes registries and globally installs the separate @deepseek-ai/dsh agent CLI when missing or broken., The same automatic hook globally installs pnpm when absent., The hook also removes files from the global npm prefix and a desktop shortcut during installation. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or secret exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle code., The terminal API requires a per-process token and loopback host checks. ## Public findings ### 1.
