A package install changes an AI-agent control surface and activates code that can send user image data and credentials externally. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.3.9 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm installation silently modifies the user's DSH agent profile and registers a loaded bridge plugin. The bridge can transmit submitted images and a DSH credential to an external service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T23:04:48.760Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T23:05:46.617Z - **Download time:** 1529 ms - **Static scan time:** 1408 ms - **AI review time:** 54920 ms - **Total time:** 57857 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The bridge can transmit submitted images and a DSH credential to an external service. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall runs automatically during package installation. - **Impact:** A package install changes an AI-agent control surface and activates code that can send user image data and credentials externally. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-lib.js, bridge/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T23:05:46.617Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic DSH control-plane installation plus credentialed remote image submission. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall hook without a user command. That installer copies and registers a bridge plugin in the user's DSH profile. When the registered route is used, the bridge reads the DSH credential file or environment and posts image content with a bearer credential to the remote GLM endpoint. - **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, coupled with credentialed external data transmission. The documented feature purpose does not remove the automatic install-time control-plane change. - **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:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs its installer after npm installation., The installer copies a plugin into the user's DSH profile, creates a loader link, and edits its patch configuration., The installed bridge reads a DSH API credential and sends image content with that credential to a remote endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The bridge restricts requests to POST and limits image sizes., The remote endpoint and credential use are implemented as a named vision feature rather than hidden code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to kixparadigm-en@1.3.9. - Avoid installing kixparadigm-en@1.3.9. 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.
