It replaces the host client and index code after locating a global installation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** The package gains control over the host UI code without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, seam/postinstall.js, seam/anchors.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T10:31:36.561Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic anchor-based patching of a foreign AI-agent host package. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes seam/postinstall.js. That hook finds a global DeepSeek Harness installation, copies its UI files as backups, rewrites client.js with package-supplied replacements, and overwrites index.js. This is unconsented lifecycle-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete automatic postinstall chain that overwrites another product's UI files. This meets the install-control-surface blocking rule even though no credential theft or external exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace/lib/client.js, node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace/lib/index.js, seam/backup-client.js, seam/backup-index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook locates a globally installed DeepSeek Harness package and overwrites its client and index files., The replacement is an anchor-based patch of the foreign host application. - **Evidence against:** No code sends harvested data to a package-controlled endpoint., The runtime git and GitHub CLI calls are bounded feature operations, not payload delivery. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-git-badge@0.10.0. - Avoid installing dsh-git-badge@0.10.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
