An unconsented install can alter the AI-agent host interface and plugin control surface before the user runs an explicit setup command. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.10.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically patches a separate DSH installation. It replaces host UI code and its host entrypoint, while retaining backups in a user-level DSH directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T10:55:41.105Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T10:56:37.561Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 264 ms - **AI review time:** 55935 ms - **Total time:** 56456 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It replaces host UI code and its host entrypoint, while retaining backups in a user-level DSH directory. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** An unconsented install can alter the AI-agent host interface and plugin control surface before the user runs an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, seam/postinstall.js, seam/anchors.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T10:56:37.561Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic anchored rewrite of foreign DSH UI files. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook finds a global DSH installation, checks whether its UI bundle matches patch anchors, then saves backups and rewrites the DSH client and index files. The replacement code adds host slots that load this package's UI components. This occurs automatically during npm installation rather than only through the advertised explicit apply command. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. Guarded anchors reduce accidental breakage but do not provide user consent for the host rewrite. - **Files touched:** @deepseek-ai/dsh/node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace/lib/client.js, @deepseek-ai/dsh/node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace/lib/index.js, $DSH\_HOME/git-badge-seam/backup-client.js, $DSH\_HOME/git-badge-seam/backup-index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs a postinstall hook., The hook locates a globally installed DSH package and rewrites its client and index files., Its patch engine replaces anchored host-code blocks, creating new plugin slots in the DSH interface., The hook creates persistent backups in a user-level DSH directory. - **Evidence against:** The host rewrite is limited to matching anchors and aborts when they do not resolve exactly once., Runtime commands use fixed git and gh invocations with timeouts; no credential reading or data-exfiltration endpoint was found., Client requests are local API paths; no package-controlled network host was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-git-badge@0.10.1. - Avoid installing dsh-git-badge@0.10.1. 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.
