Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installing the package automatically changes the global DeepSeek Harness agent profile and registers a bridge. When that bridge receives an image request, it reads the configured API key and forwards the image to its fixed vision endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T06:53:49.031Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T06:54:55.506Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1773 ms - **AI review time:** 64192 ms - **Total time:** 66475 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:** Installing the package automatically changes the global DeepSeek Harness agent profile and registers a bridge. When that bridge receives an image request, it reads the configured API key and forwards the image to its fixed vision endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation, followed by a DSH image-description request. - **Impact:** The package gains persistent DSH plugin execution and can transmit user-provided images with the local vision API credential. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-lib.js, bridge/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T06:54:55.506Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic DSH extension installation with credential-backed image forwarding. - **Rationale:** This is a first-party DSH extension installer, not a demonstrated arbitrary payload or secret-stealing chain. Its unconsented postinstall mutation of a global AI-agent control surface and credential-backed external image forwarding remain a real lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** $DSH\_HOME/.agent-presets/kixparadigm-classic-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:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the installer., The installer copies a preset into the global DSH profile, links a plugin, and edits its patch configuration., The installed bridge reads a DSH API credential and sends uploaded image data to a fixed external API. - **Evidence against:** The installer targets this package's named preset and bridge rather than arbitrary project files., No self-dependency, remote code loading, shell payload, or unbounded network destination was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to kixparadigm-en@1.3.10. - Review the evidence and your use of kixparadigm-en@1.3.10 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.
