Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The user’s account is changed to publicly endorse the repository. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.17.0 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms an unrequested account change: interactive setup can use the user’s authenticated GitHub account to star the publisher’s repository without confirmation. The manifest’s prepare hook only builds the package; the concrete behavior is in the CLI setup flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T17:34:04.833Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T17:34:39.964Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 297 ms - **AI review time:** 34329 ms - **Total time:** 35131 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 CLI can star the package’s GitHub repository using the user’s authenticated account without asking for confirmation. - **Trigger:** The user runs setup on Windows with interactive input and output, and the one-time prompt marker does not already exist. - **Impact:** The user’s account is changed to publicly endorse the repository. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:34:39.964Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI checks whether GitHub CLI authentication is available, then sends a PUT request to star the package repository without displaying a consent prompt. - **Attack narrative:** On the first interactive Windows setup, the CLI checks for an authenticated GitHub CLI session and, if available, stars the package repository without asking the user. This performs a publisher-selected account action that is separate from setting up the package. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an unrequested account change: interactive setup can use the user’s authenticated GitHub account to star the publisher’s repository without confirmation. The manifest’s prepare hook only builds the package; the concrete behavior is in the CLI setup flow. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.mjs, DSH\_HOME/.dsh-win32-star-prompted - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** On the first interactive Windows setup, the CLI calls the star action without requesting confirmation., The action uses an authenticated GitHub CLI session to star the publisher’s repository., The target is selected by the package, so running setup does not establish consent to change the user’s GitHub account. - **Evidence against:** The manifest’s prepare hook only runs the build; this account action is in the CLI setup path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-win32@0.17.0. - Avoid installing dsh-win32@0.17.0. 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.
