Installing this package can alter a foreign AI-agent host and add agent instructions without an explicit user 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:** 0.15.0 - **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. The install hook automatically changes an installed DSH host client and installs an agent skill in the user skills catalog. No network endpoint is needed for this control-surface modification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T02:48:53.316Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T02:49:50.300Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 331 ms - **AI review time:** 56141 ms - **Total time:** 56984 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:** The install hook automatically changes an installed DSH host client and installs an agent skill in the user skills catalog. No network endpoint is needed for this control-surface modification. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Installing this package can alter a foreign AI-agent host and add agent instructions without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, seam/postinstall.js, seam/skill.js, seam/apply.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T02:49:50.300Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies a packaged skill to the DSH skills catalog, then, when anchors match, overwrites DSH client and index files with patched versions. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package executes its postinstall hook. That hook installs a gh skill into the user-level DSH skills catalog and, when its checks pass, replaces files in the separately installed DSH client. The same patching capability is exposed through its command-line entrypoint, but the automatic lifecycle hook performs it without requiring that command. This is an unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package combines automatic lifecycle execution with writes to a foreign DSH host and user agent-skill catalog. The stated safeguards limit when files are changed but do not remove the unconsented install-time control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** package.json, seam/postinstall.js, seam/skill.js, seam/apply.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package registers a postinstall hook that automatically runs the seam installer., The postinstall path installs a gh skill before checking whether the DSH client exists., The postinstall path backs up and overwrites the installed DSH client and index files., The skill installer creates a user-level skills directory and copies the packaged skill into it., The bundled command also patches the installed DSH client and index files. - **Evidence against:** The patch code includes backups and state checks, but these do not establish user consent for automatic host and agent-skill mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-git-badge@0.15.0. - Avoid installing dsh-git-badge@0.15.0. 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.
