## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.8.72
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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.

The plugin sends undisclosed runtime telemetry automatically at startup, which warrants a warning under the telemetry policy. The inspected payload is limited to a pseudonymous install hash and basic runtime metadata, with no evidence of credential or project-data exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T13:09:36.511Z

- **Total time:** 51289 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry reports a pseudonymous install identifier and basic runtime metadata.

- **Trigger:** Plugin initialization calls sendHeartbeat automatically; the request is delayed by three seconds and is rate-limited.

- **Impact:** The vendor can track pseudonymous installs and runtime versions; no credential or project data is included in the observed payload.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/telemetry.js, lib/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T13:10:27.800Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The plugin stores or reuses a random install ID, hashes it, and POSTs the hash with version, platform, architecture, and Node version to its heartbeat endpoint.

- **Rationale:** The plugin sends undisclosed runtime telemetry automatically at startup, which warrants a warning under the telemetry policy. The inspected payload is limited to a pseudonymous install hash and basic runtime metadata, with no evidence of credential or project-data exfiltration.

- **Files touched:** \<DSH\_HOME\>/.dsh-remote-install-id, \<package install directory\>/lib/\*.js, \<package install directory\>/package.json, \<package install directory\>/cordis.patch.yml

- **Network endpoints:** https://slippery-iguana-d1fhb1xmd469ee8c-1256429518.ap-shanghai.app.tcloudbase.com/dsh-hb/heartbeat

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** On plugin startup, lib/index.js calls sendHeartbeat without a user action., The heartbeat sends a pseudonymous install ID hash plus package version, platform, architecture, and Node version to a hard-coded endpoint., The heartbeat is not disclosed in the inspected README text.

- **Evidence against:** The heartbeat payload contains only the listed telemetry fields; it does not include SSH credentials, hostnames, or paths., The update mechanism fetches dsh-remote from the npm registry and limits replacement to this package's lib files, package.json, and cordis.patch.yml., The package is an SSH remote-work plugin, so its SSH and filesystem capabilities match its stated purpose.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to dsh-remote@0.8.72.

- Review the evidence and your use of dsh-remote@0.8.72 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.
