That plugin can read a DSH API credential and transmit user-supplied images to an external vision endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package triggers postinstall; later use of the installed DSH image feature triggers the request. - **Impact:** A dependency install can persist executable agent-plugin code in a separate DSH profile and enable external transmission of image content using a local credential. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-lib.js, dsh/vision-bridge/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:34:04.610Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic DSH preset and plugin installation followed by credential-backed image upload. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall runs an installer that copies presets into DSH, installs a plugin under the DSH web profile, creates its loader link, and edits the profile patch file so the plugin is mounted. The installed plugin reads the DSH credential file when a text-only model receives images, then sends the image data and bearer credential to the configured external vision service. - **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, with a mounted plugin that accesses credentials and sends user content externally. The automatic lifecycle behavior meets the publish-block policy even though the feature has a stated purpose. - **Files touched:** $DSH\_HOME/.agent-presets/kixparadigm, $DSH\_HOME/.agent-presets/kixparadigm-classic, $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 runs its installer automatically after npm installation., The installer copies agent presets into the DSH control directory, installs a plugin, creates a loader link, and edits the DSH patch configuration., The installed plugin reads a DSH credential and sends supplied image data with that credential to an external service. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency or downloaded second-stage payload is declared., The external request is implemented as a vision-description feature with a fixed endpoint and model-name allowlist. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to kixparadigm@1.3.16. - Avoid installing kixparadigm@1.3.16. 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.
