Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Scripts are pack-time only, and the relay starts from the host apply entry after a user token is supplied. Disk collection, system metadata, and artifact reads stay inside that configured remote-access session rather than an install-time or hidden exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T23:44:43.339Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T23:46:08.030Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 238 ms - **AI review time:** 83945 ms - **Total time:** 84691 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:** No install-time or hidden attack was identified. The package is a host-loaded remote relay plugin that connects only when apply is called with a token. - **Trigger:** The host calls apply with a token and autoConnect is not disabled. Registry install does not run a lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** No unconsented install mutation, covert payload fetch, or independent credential theft was identified. Remote file and UI access occurs only inside the user-started relay session. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T23:46:08.030Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** startAgent opens a WebSocket to the configured relay and proxies local dsh HTTP and WebSocket traffic. Shell use is limited to df with fixed arguments. - **Rationale:** Scripts are pack-time only, and the relay starts from the host apply entry after a user token is supplied. Disk collection, system metadata, and artifact reads stay inside that configured remote-access session rather than an install-time or hidden exfiltration chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json only defines prepack and prepare, both invoking scripts/prepack.mjs. There is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The relay WebSocket opens only from startAgent after a token is present. A missing token returns a no-op stop function., The only child process is execFileSync of df with the fixed argument list -kPT, used to inventory disks., lib/index.js starts the agent from the host apply() call, using the configured token and relay URL, defaulting to the placeholder wss://relay.example.com/agent. - **Evidence against:** After registration, a relay http:request to /api/host.artifact can read a caller-supplied text path, including .env, and send the bytes back on that same WebSocket., On connect the agent reports hostname, address, disk, and installed-plugin metadata to the configured relay. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dshost-plugin@0.1.13. - Review the evidence and your use of dshost-plugin@0.1.13 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
