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, publisher-selected GitHub account action on the setup path. The CI skip and build-only lifecycle scripts do not prevent that runtime behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T17:33:15.497Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T17:34:09.449Z - **Download time:** 261 ms - **Static scan time:** 318 ms - **AI review time:** 53372 ms - **Total time:** 53952 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 setup command can use an existing GitHub CLI login to star the publisher's repository without recipient-specific consent. This changes the user's authenticated GitHub account. - **Trigger:** The user runs the package's setup command outside CI. - **Impact:** The user's GitHub account is changed to star the publisher's repository without an affirmative consent step. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.mjs, bin/setup-consent.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:34:09.449Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup calls a helper that checks for GitHub CLI authentication and, if available, submits a star request for the fixed publisher repository. A local marker prevents repeating the action. - **Attack narrative:** Running setup outside CI can silently use an existing GitHub CLI login to star the publisher's repository. The helper records a local marker, checks whether the CLI is authenticated, and submits the account action; the setup flow does not ask for affirmative consent to that action. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an unrequested, publisher-selected GitHub account action on the setup path. The CI skip and build-only lifecycle scripts do not prevent that runtime behavior. - **Files touched:** .dsh-win32-star-prompted - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package exposes bin/cli.mjs as its command-line entrypoint., Running setup calls the GitHub-star helper in both current and legacy setup flows., Outside CI, the helper proceeds without an affirmative user-consent check; it only skips in CI., When GitHub CLI authentication is available, the helper sends a request to star the publisher's repository., The helper also writes a local marker file before checking authentication. - **Evidence against:** The prepare script only runs the package build, and prepublishOnly runs the build and tests. This does not mitigate the runtime account action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dsh-win32@0.17.9. - Avoid installing dsh-win32@0.17.9. 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.
