## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation rewrites display branding in the installed DeepSeek Harness dependency. Explicit CLI login contacts Token Harbor and stores the resulting approved key in the package-specific home directory; no confirmed malicious chain is present.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later explicit halyard invocation/login

- **Impact:** Changes dependency display assets/text and configures a user-requested model-provider credential.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/rebrand.mjs, bin/auth.mjs, bin/halyard.mjs, profile/halyard.patch.yml

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T14:20:09.885Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** dependency UI rebranding and Token Harbor device-code authentication

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle mutation is an overt, bounded branding change rather than AI-agent control hijacking, and network/credential behavior is package-aligned explicit login. Static source inspection found no exfiltration, remote code loading, destructive action, or stealth persistence.

- **Files touched:** bin/rebrand.mjs, bin/auth.mjs, bin/halyard.mjs, profile/halyard.patch.yml, node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/\*/lib/\*\*, node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/\*/dist/\*\*, node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-frontend/dist/favicon.svg, ~/.halyard/credentials.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://tokenharbor.ai/api/cli/auth/init, https://tokenharbor.ai/api/cli/auth/status, https://tokenharbor.ai/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall rewrites human-readable branding and a dependency favicon., Explicit CLI login sends device metadata to Token Harbor and stores an approved API key locally.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time network, shell, credential harvesting, or agent-control configuration writes found., Rebranding is limited to listed text extensions and a fixed favicon target., Credential flow is activated by CLI use, uses Token Harbor endpoints, and saves with mode 0600., Launcher invokes the pinned harness with user arguments; no eval or remote payload loading found.
