The package alters the host AI-agent UI control surface and persists a restart marker outside the package. - **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:** 0.11.0 - **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 can patch the globally installed DeepSeek DSH UI without a separate user command. It changes host code and adds plugin-controlled sidebar slots. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T11:52:42.827Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T11:53:50.164Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 324 ms - **AI review time:** 66501 ms - **Total time:** 67337 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package can patch the globally installed DeepSeek DSH UI without a separate user command. It changes host code and adds plugin-controlled sidebar slots. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation when a patchable DSH installation is found. - **Impact:** The package alters the host AI-agent UI control surface and persists a restart marker outside the package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, seam/postinstall.js, seam/anchors.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T11:53:50.164Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic in-place patching of a foreign AI-agent host client. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook finds a global DeepSeek DSH installation, verifies text anchors, then overwrites its client and index files. The inserted patch registers new sidebar extension slots controlled by this package and writes state in the user's DSH data directory. Although it uses backups and anchor checks, the host mutation occurs automatically rather than through the advertised explicit command. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. Safeguards reduce accidental corruption but do not remove the automatic host-code modification. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace/lib/client.js, 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, $DSH\_HOME/git-badge-seam/restart-pending.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., Postinstall locates an installed DeepSeek DSH client outside this package., Postinstall backs up then overwrites the host client and index files., The patch adds plugin-controlled sidebar extension slots to the host UI., The patch registers list-style sidebar workspace extension slots for session rows and their details. - **Evidence against:** The hook limits changes to a detected DSH installation and checks patch anchors first., It creates backups before modifying the host files., No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, remote payload download, or self-dependency was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-git-badge@0.11.0. - Avoid installing dsh-git-badge@0.11.0. 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.
