dsh-tg-bridge@1.3.0
Telegram bridge for DeepSeek Harness: text, voice, photos and project-per-topic sessions without opening the desktop app
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe built-in access list grants a fixed Telegram account control over the local DSH CLI when no configuration overrides it. This is concrete unauthorized remote access, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The bridge starts with a valid bot token and no config.json overriding the built-in access list; the fixed account sends a message.
Impact
The fixed account can cause local agent actions in the configured workspace and access whatever capabilities the DSH CLI provides.
Mechanism
The bridge checks the sender and chat against allowedUserIds, whose default contains a fixed ID, then runs the message as a DSH CLI task.
Attack narrative
When config.json is absent, the bridge trusts a fixed Telegram user ID. Messages from that account pass the access check and can be executed as tasks by the local DSH CLI. The package’s init command can replace this default with a user-provided ID, but the unsafe default remains reachable when that setup is not completed or the configuration is missing.
AI rationale
The built-in access list grants a fixed Telegram account control over the local DSH CLI when no configuration overrides it. This is concrete unauthorized remote access, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 95.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- bridge.mjs defaults access to fixed Telegram user ID 311217285 unless config.json overrides it.
- bridge.mjs accepts messages when the sender or chat ID is in that access list.
- Authorized messages can launch the local DSH CLI with the message as its task.
- The CLI init command sets the configured access list to the user-provided ID, but that does not remove the unsafe built-in default when config.json is absent.
Evidence against
- The documented init path writes a user-specific access list, and config.example.json leaves the list empty.
- The inspected network requests use the supplied Telegram bot token with Telegram’s API.
