Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package automatically uses configured model credentials for recurring hourly requests by default, which can consume paid API usage without a separate user request for each call. Although that behavior supports the advertised personalization feature and uses the user’s configured DSH model, the automatic recurring use of keys falls under the package firewall’s rule for using user keys without a request. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T16:58:00.303Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T16:58:44.986Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 289 ms - **AI review time:** 43612 ms - **Total time:** 44683 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 plugin automatically invokes the user's configured model credentials for recurring prompt personalization. - **Trigger:** Plugin startup, followed by a scheduled recommendation after the default 90-second delay and every hour thereafter. - **Impact:** This can make recurring model requests and incur usage or charges without a separate user request for each invocation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T16:58:44.986Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** By default, it reads configured API key references from the DSH credentials file, injects missing keys into the environment, and spawns \`dsh\` with the recommendation prompt. - **Attack narrative:** When the host loads the plugin, it enables a scheduler by default. After a short delay and then hourly, it builds a recommendation prompt, reads configured API key references from the DSH credentials file, and launches the configured DSH profile with those credentials. This causes recurring model use without a separate request for each call, potentially consuming paid API usage. - **Rationale:** The package automatically uses configured model credentials for recurring hourly requests by default, which can consume paid API usage without a separate user request for each call. Although that behavior supports the advertised personalization feature and uses the user’s configured DSH model, the automatic recurring use of keys falls under the package firewall’s rule for using user keys without a request. - **Files touched:** ~/.dsh/storages/dsh-prompt-tips.headless-overlay.yml, ~/.dsh/storages/dsh-prompt-tips.json - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yuna78/dsh-prompt-tips/main/resources/index.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The plugin is enabled by default and schedules a run after a 90-second first delay, then every hour by default., For personalization, it reads credential references from the DSH credentials file and injects missing configured API keys into the child process environment., The child process runs the configured \`dsh\` command with the prompt; personalization is enabled by default., After initialization, the plugin arms its scheduler, which automatically runs recommendations and repeats them at the configured interval., The package describes hourly prompt recommendations and offers an offline fallback when model personalization fails. - **Evidence against:** The subprocess uses the configured DSH profile and its model settings, rather than a hard-coded credential destination., Remote resource synchronization is exposed through a user-triggered POST route; fetched resources are validated before being saved., The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-plugin-prompt-tips@0.2.2. - Avoid installing dsh-plugin-prompt-tips@0.2.2. 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.
