Unconsented activation of package-controlled code in the DSH agent control plane. - **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:** 1.2.20 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically modifies DeepSeek Harness's preset, plugin, loader, and patch configuration. The installed plugin can later send attached images with a DSH credential to its fixed vision API. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T02:43:26.108Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T02:45:23.845Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 1144 ms - **AI review time:** 116339 ms - **Total time:** 117737 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically modifies DeepSeek Harness's preset, plugin, loader, and patch configuration. The installed plugin can later send attached images with a DSH credential to its fixed vision API. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented activation of package-controlled code in the DSH agent control plane. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-lib.js, bridge/index.js, bridge/client.js, preset/agent.cordis.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T02:45:23.845Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic foreign AI-agent preset and plugin installation - **Attack narrative:** Installing the npm package runs its default installer without an explicit command. That installer copies a full preset into DeepSeek Harness, creates a plugin loader link, and writes a DSH patch entry that activates the package's bridge. The active bridge reads the DSH vision API credential and sends user-attached images to a fixed external endpoint. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package's declared feature does not justify silently installing and activating code in the separate DeepSeek Harness control plane during npm postinstall. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface. - **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 invokes the installer automatically., Default install copies a preset into DSH and mounts a web plugin through its patch file., Mounted bridge reads a DSH API credential and posts image content to a fixed external API. - **Evidence against:** No obfuscated payload, dynamic remote code loading, or arbitrary shell execution was found in the inspected install path., The external API and image conversion implement the declared vision-bridge feature. ## Public findings ### 1.
