Unconsented agent-control-surface mutation and third-party transmission of user image data. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.2.15 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically modifies the external DSH agent control surface. The installed bridge can read a DSH credential and transmit attached images to its fixed vision API. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T06:32:52.388Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T06:34:37.798Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 948 ms - **AI review time:** 103953 ms - **Total time:** 105410 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically modifies the external DSH agent control surface. The installed bridge can read a DSH credential and transmit attached images to its fixed vision API. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later DSH image submission - **Impact:** Unconsented agent-control-surface mutation and third-party transmission of user image data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-lib.js, bridge/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T06:34:37.798Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic DSH preset/plugin installation and credentialed image relay - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook copies this package's agent preset into DSH, installs a bridge plugin, creates a loader link, and modifies DSH's patch configuration without an explicit user command. At runtime, that bridge reads ZAI\_CODING\_CN\_API\_KEY from DSH configuration and sends image payloads with the credential to open.bigmodel.cn. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, meeting the blocking policy. The declared vision feature does not remove the lifecycle-control risk. - **Files touched:** $DSH\_HOME/.agent-presets/kixparadigm-en/, $DSH\_HOME/profiles/web/plugins/dsh-vision-bridge/, $DSH\_HOME/profiles/web/node\_modules/dsh-vision-bridge, $DSH\_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml, $DSH\_HOME/.credentials.yaml - **Network endpoints:** https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall automatically runs the installer., Installer targets ~/.dsh and installs a preset, plugin link, and patch entry., Bridge reads a DSH API credential and posts image content to a third-party API. - **Evidence against:** No download-and-execute or obfuscated payload was found., The external request is a fixed vision-service endpoint used by the declared bridge feature. ## Public findings ### 1.
