## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.4.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation automatically rewrites installed DeepSeek DSH modules and removes sandbox-related dependencies. One patch weakens loopback web authentication by minting a session cookie for tokenless local requests.

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:** Installation automatically rewrites installed DeepSeek DSH modules and removes sandbox-related dependencies. One patch weakens loopback web authentication by minting a session cookie for tokenless local requests.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled.

- **Impact:** The installed DSH security posture can change without an explicit setup command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/patch.mjs, lib/prune.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T13:30:18.342Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic mutation of an AI harness dependency tree and its authentication behavior.

- **Rationale:** This is not proven malware, but its install hook silently changes authentication and sandbox-related behavior in another package. The lack of exfiltration or obfuscation supports a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** node\_modules/@deepseek-ai/\*/lib/index.js, node\_modules/\*\*/dsh-sandbox-local, node\_modules/\*\*/dsh-bash-sandbox, node\_modules/\*\*/dsh-pwsh-sandbox

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The automatic postinstall runs a patcher and a pruning script., The patcher rewrites every discovered DeepSeek DSH dependency instance., The patcher adds a loopback route that mints a long-lived session cookie without a token., The pruning script recursively deletes DSH sandbox-related packages.

- **Evidence against:** The lifecycle path contains no credential collection, external exfiltration, payload download, or dynamic evaluation., The observed network fetch is confined to the explicit smoke test against 127.0.0.1., The code is an overt HarmonyOS compatibility layer rather than an obfuscated payload.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to dsh-harmonyos@0.4.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of dsh-harmonyos@0.4.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
