dsh-plugin-vet
Trust pipeline for deepseek-harness plugins: deterministic static scan (11 rules) + LLM-driven audit protocol + two-part scorecard, with optional runtime guard (T1 sentinel / T2 fs & child_process hooks) and honeypot decoys. Monitor-and-alert only — vet never blocks or kills on its own.

Introduction
@jieai/dsh-plugin-vet — Trust pipeline for DSH plugins
English | 中文
Before installing any plugin, run it through dsh-plugin-vet: static rules produce a verdict (deterministic, unforgeable), the agent investigates sensitive points and quality issues following the
vet-audit-protocolskill (no one can substitute for that), and a final scorecard is handed to a human/model to decide.Positioning: a monitoring alarm, not an enforcer. vet only does "check → alarm → advise": checks at write time (static scan), watches at run time (runtime guard), and surfaces alarms (scorecard + GUI shield status light). vet never acts on your behalf — it never auto-uninstalls, never kills processes, never rewrites configs; deny mode is an explicit opt-in by the deployer and is not part of the product identity. The final disposition is always decided by the user on their own DSH.
@jieai/dsh-plugin-vet is the trust-layer plugin in the deepseek-harness ecosystem: it occupies the whole
download → scan → audit → score → decide → runtime watch trust pipeline. The runtime watch ships built-in
honeypot lures: anyone quietly rifling through key files gets caught red-handed (opt-in, honeypot.enabled).
It does not provide a plugin marketplace itself (catalog/distribution).

Installation
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add @jieai/dsh-plugin-vet
Install-and-activate chain: pnpm install → reconcilePlugins reads dsh.bundle → on next start loadProfile
resolves the bundle and mounts the plugin. Default configuration is in the Config section below
(fail-open: reports only, never blocks).
Local tarball install (offline or verify-before-release scenario):
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add ./jieai-dsh-plugin-vet-0.1.4.tgz
# or unpack directly into the profile's node_modules:
# tar -xzf jieai-dsh-plugin-vet-0.1.4.tgz -C ~/.dsh/profiles/<profile>/node_modules/@jieai/
// and add an insert mount entry in the profile's cordis.patch.yml:
// - insert:
// - id: plugin-vet
// name: '@jieai/dsh-plugin-vet'
// config:
// mode: report
// autoScan: true
Paths / relative paths / URLs all work (
dsh plugin addfalls back to pnpm'sfile:protocol; a local tgz is resolved directly).First-install time note: the first
dsh plugin addinto a large profile can take several minutes — during that time pnpm does a full dependency resolution, updates the lockfile for 500+ packages and runs supply-chain policy validation over the whole dependency tree (vet itself carries only 2 runtime dependencies; the bulk of the time is parsing/validating the profile's existing tree, not vet). Subsequent installs/updates take seconds (validation results are reused).
Compatibility: vet targets DSH 0.1.0-rc.6+ (peer range
^0.1.0-rc.6). pnpm may warn about unmet peer dependencies — this is expected: profile templates setautoInstallPeers: false, and at runtime the packages resolve from the DSH install closure ($DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modulesfallback layer); you neither need nor should install another copy of the cordis family in the profile.
Watch scope = the profile vet is installed into. vet's guards are in-process events (
internal/plugin) — whichever profile vet is installed into is the one whose loaded plugins it guards. For multi-profile deployments, install vet into every profile you want guarded (dsh plugin --profile <name> add @jieai/dsh-plugin-vet) and pointrequireAuditat the matching profile's cordis.patch.yml.
Config (cordis.yml)
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
mode | report | report reports only, never blocks; deny explicitly enables blocking |
autoScan | true | Automatically static-scan new plugins (internal/plugin) |
scannerTimeoutMs | 15000 | Static-scan subprocess timeout |
requireAudit | false | Audit gate (opt-in): when enabled, loading a new plugin checks ~/.dsh/vet/audits/ for a health record — without one, report mode logs a yellow audit-required alarm, deny mode blocks. Records are written to disk by hand by the agent following the vet-audit-protocol skill |
rules | {} (all on) | Per-rule switches (R1-R12) |
denyOn | critical | Blocking threshold in mode: deny |
allowlist | [] | Package/plugin-id allowlist (skip scanning) |
runtimeGuard | off | Runtime guard (performance/stability cost, opt-in): off = disabled; watch enables the T1 sentinel + T2 hooks, alarm-only |
runtimeIntervalMs | 2000 | T1 sentinel /proc sampling interval |
runtimeMemLimitMb | 2048 | T1 memory alarm threshold (host VmRSS, over limit → red) |
runtimeForkBurstN | 5 | T1 child-process burst alarm threshold (single-round delta → red) |
runtimeFdLimit | 512 | T1 file-descriptor alarm threshold (→ yellow) |
runtimeGrowthMb | 256 | T1 sustained memory-growth alarm threshold (net RSS growth over the full window → yellow, suspected leak; an early-window spike does not count as window-level sustained growth, so no false positive) |
runtimeGrowthWindowMs | 600000 | Growth-detection window (default 10 minutes) |
honeypot.enabled | false | Honeypot lures (needs runtimeGuard: watch): plants fake key lures in honeypot.dir; T2 reports touches (read/write/delete) of lure paths as a separate honeypot alarm class. Directory/file names and contents carry no honeypot keywords (anti-honeypot), default location ~/.dsh/.local, lure values are well-formed but invalid fake credentials |
honeypot.dir | '' | Lure directory; empty = $HOME/.dsh/.local |
osvCheck | true | Query Google OSV for known vulnerabilities when scanning package.json (exact-version queries only: ranges (*/>=/^/~) and version-less main packages are skipped, P3-1/P3-3 — avoids stale full-history false positives; since round-7 ranges are no longer stripped to query as exact lower bounds). Verified targets = the plugin itself + direct dependencies (cap 8, official @deepseek-ai/* packages skipped, P3-10); transitive trees exceed the OSV v1 scope and the scan budget. Default on sends package names to api.osv.dev; network failure degrades silently. Set false if privacy-sensitive |
Official @deepseek-ai/* packages are exempt by default (built-in trust).
Tools
scan_plugin— deterministic static scan:target=dynamic-code(source string) /package(package directory) /file(single file). Returns a scorecard (verdict + staticScore + findings). The verdict is produced only by static rules.vet-audit-protocol(skill) — audit-process protocol (AUDIT_PROTOCOL.md): the agent audits a new plugin in preset steps — scan_plugin static criteria (incl. R12 Cordis/DSH contract) → read manifest/source → verify each finding → proactively dig deeper (network/files/processes/credentials/library semantics) → contract & code-quality audit (step 4.5: entry/Config-schema consistency, error handling/synchronous blocking/resource leaks/async correctness and other "badly written" issues — statically clean ≠ worth installing) → hand-write a health record to~/.dsh/vet/audits/<plugin>-<version>-<ts>.mdusing the system write capability. vet ships no audit tooling and does not investigate for the agent — it only provides the criteria and the on-disk convention.
Automatic behavior
internal/pluginauto-scan (autoScan: true): newly installed third-party npm packages are static-scanned on load;denymode + verdict ≥denyOn→ load rolled back.- Audit gate (
requireAudit: true): loading a third-party plugin without a health record —reportmode logs a yellowaudit-requiredalarm (enters the /vet/status.json alarm list, plugin loads normally);denymode rolls back the load (referencesvet-audit-protocolas a prompt to audit first). Records match by exact version (P-1): after a plugin upgrade the old version's record no longer authorizes the new version — re-audit is required to clear the alarm/block. tools/executeinterception:cordis_define/run_code/workfloware scanned before execution (cordis_run's real schema carries no code payload, so the guard slot stays dormant — P3-11 synced);reportmode prefixes non-clean results withVET:(clean executions don't pollute machine-readable output),denymode blocks outright (isError).- Runtime guard (
runtimeGuard: watch) — alarm-only:- T1 sentinel: a sidecar subprocess reads the host /proc every
runtimeIntervalMs(VmRSS / child-process count / fd count) and streams alarm JSON lines back to the host → shield turns yellow/red. - T2 hooks: in-process wrappers around fs / child_process (incl. fs.promises); dangerous operations
(sensitive-path writes/deletes, key-file reads, subprocesses with shell/download/exfiltration keywords,
honeypot-lure touches,
~/.dshconfig-root reconnaissance) are attributed via the stack to the plugin package name before alarming; official packages get full-class noise reduction via attribution (capability grant — official packages are the platform itself; their high-frequency~/.dshsession/config/storage reads don't spam; third parties can't forge attribution). Never blocks a call. Self-harm exemptions (fixed after real-world false positives):- node_modules package-directory exemption: package names/inner files are public artifacts — package
names containing credential/secret words are normal ecosystem (
@aws-sdk/credential-provider-*,@deepseek-ai/dsh-credentials-local, etc.), and both host module resolution (require.resolve's internal realpathSync/stat of inner package.json) and vet's own scan reads touch them at high frequency, so they no longer false-positive as fs-probe; path segments before node_modules still judged normally (~/.ssh/node_modules/xstill hits .ssh), and write/delete of system roots (/usr etc.) still alarms. - Attribution excludes vet itself: the wrapper frame is always the top of the alarm stack, and the vet root never participates in attribution mapping — host/unowned alarms are no longer pinned on vet (the alarm still fires, attributed to the real caller).
- Toolchain temp artifacts (tsc
<src>.<pid>.<uuid>.tmpdir,*.tmp,*.temp,*.swp, etc.) are auto-exempt — the secrets/credentials in their names are just source filenames being compiled; deleting them is cleanup, not destruction; parent segments still judged normally (~/.ssh/config.bakstill alarms).
- node_modules package-directory exemption: package names/inner files are public artifacts — package
names containing credential/secret words are normal ecosystem (
- T1 sentinel: a sidecar subprocess reads the host /proc every
- GUI shield: a browser half registers into
conversation.session.header.actionsand polls /vet/status.json to show a green/yellow/red light + alarm count. Activation requires adsh webrestart (client-modules only scans thedsh.clientdeclaration at startup).- Interaction: clickable — clicking expands the alarm panel (live metrics: memory/CPU/I-O/
child-process/fd; guard status: when off, one click writes a
runtimeGuard: watchconfig (takes effect on restart); alarm list with severity/attribution/per-item advice; recent-scan echo, refresh, updated time), outside clicks close it; when alarms exist a count badge appears next to the shield (green/yellow/red theme color, light/dark adaptive). - Per-item dismiss: each alarm can be "dismissed" — display-only (no longer counts toward shield level or count), the record is kept and can be "restored"; a dismissed alarm auto-expires once the alarm stops, so a recurrence is visible again (and can be dismissed again). Dismiss state shares the alarm store's lifecycle (resets on restart). Auth boundary (P3-12 recorded): dismiss/restore only do same-origin validation (alarm-only display-layer risk — a same-origin page script could hide alarms, but records aren't deleted and nothing else is affected; acceptable within the system).
- Display caps: the panel shows the latest 8 alarms; the store is a ring buffer capped at 20, deduped per id within 60s, 24h TTL (sustained triggers naturally renew) — 100 alarms are not displayed in full, and needn't be (new alarms push out the oldest). Recent-scan echo (suspicious → yellow) also expires on the 24h TTL (P3-2: one suspicious scan no longer turns the shield permanently yellow; sustained scanning renews naturally).
- Interaction: clickable — clicking expands the alarm panel (live metrics: memory/CPU/I-O/
child-process/fd; guard status: when off, one click writes a

Scoring model
staticScore = max(0, 100 - Σ(severity weight × hits × confidence coefficient))
verdict (the single authoritative judgment; heuristics never upgrade): critical ≥ 1 → critical; otherwise
high ≥ 1 → suspicious; otherwise → clean. The verdict is produced only by the static layer: staticScore
and verdict are shown separately and never merged into a single total.
Capability boundary (honest list)
Static scanning is a "speed bump + forensics layer", not a security boundary. The following is split by impact on the verdict, and the forms it explicitly does not detect are listed truthfully (all empirically verified).
Detected — verdict-level (changes the verdict)
| Rule | Problem class | Hit → verdict | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | Constructor-chain escape: x.constructor("return process") / x["constructor"]("return " + "process") / new (globalThis.constructor.constructor)("return process")() (dot/bracket-access + new forms; string args statically evaluable: literals/templates/concatenation/const bindings; new supports const-alias tracking) | critical | matrix + multi-file ✓ |
| R2 | Dynamic execution: eval() / Function() / new Function / new AsyncFunction (incl. parenthesized new (Function)(...); escape-string args → critical) / (async)=>{}.constructor capture (round-7.2: new X.constructor reported only when the base is a function literal — new n.constructor(n.type, n) object-clone no longer false-positives) / vm.runInContext/runInNewContext / dynamic import() / require() | high (files) / medium (code, escape-string → critical); bin entries judged as generic code, drop to medium | matrix + round-7/7.2 regression ✓ |
| R3 | Direct process access: getBuiltinModule/mainModule/module/exit (incl. reallyExit) → critical; side-effect members (kill/abort/chdir/umask/setuid/dlopen/binding, etc.) and unknown members → high; read-only members (round-7.1): env/cwd/platform/pid/argv/execPath/stdin/stdout/stderr/nextTick/on, etc. → info capability surface (reading cwd/env/pid isn't an escape channel; no-bin MCP/tool plugins like bridges no longer get hurt); runtime='sandbox' caps at high; shape degradation: generic packages / bin entry files / app-type packages → info | critical / high / info | matrix + round-7.1 regression ✓ |
| R4 | Host-closure capture: reading .constructor of agent/parallel/pipeline/phase/log/TextEncoder/TextDecoder/btoa/atob or feeding Object.getPrototypeOf (code scenario); host-global prototype pollution: <builtin>.prototype.<member> = ... override assignments and Object.defineProperty(<builtin>.prototype, ...) (Object/Array/String/Function/TextEncoder/URL/Buffer and 40+ builtins, round-7) | critical (code) / high (files, since round-7.1 independent of targetKind — pollution semantics don't distinguish plugins from generic packages, generic no longer drops to info) | matrix + round-7 regression ✓ |
| R7 | Hardcoded secrets: sk- / AKIA / AIza / gh[pousr]_ / xox[baprs]- / env-var assignment / URL-embedded keys (placeholders excluded) | high → suspicious | matrix ✓ |
| R9 | Resource safety: new Array(2**31) / Buffer.alloc(1GB) unbounded allocation (≥1e8), while(true)/for(;;) exit-less synchronous loops (freezes the host; round-7.2: a labeled break whose label wraps the loop — outer: for(;;){ ... break outer } — counts as an exit signal), spawn/exec/fork/new Worker in exit-less loops (fork bomb) | high → suspicious; ReDoS nested quantifiers (a+)+-class and overlapping alternation branches `(a | aa)+→ medium (first-char-disjoint branches like(?:[^'] |
| R10 | Supply chain: preinstall/install/postinstall/uninstall hooks in package.json scripts (arbitrary code execution at install time) → high; dependency manifest → info (known-vulnerability check: OSV exact-version query, osvCheck can be disabled) | high → suspicious (install hooks) | matrix ✓ |
| R11 | Destructive file operations: fs.unlink/rm/rmdir(+Sync) deleting sensitive paths (/etc/root/.ssh etc.) → high, plain deletes → medium; fs.writeFile etc. writing sensitive paths → high; fs.readdir traversing sensitive directories → medium | high → suspicious (sensitive paths); medium not into verdict | matrix ✓ |
| R12 | Cordis/DSH contract: missing declared dsh.bundle.patch file → high; no entry (no main/exports["."] and no root index.js) → medium; declared entry file missing → high; plugin-intent package missing name → medium; engines.node major < 22 → info | high → suspicious (declared mount point/entry missing means guaranteed failure); medium/info not into verdict | matrix ✓ |
Detected — advisory level (downgrades score only, never changes the verdict)
| Rule | Problem class | Note |
|---|---|---|
| R5 | ctx-escape attempt signal: accessing sandbox-withheld framework members / undeclared services (ctx.plugin, etc.) | code scenario only; medium |
| R6 | String coarse scan: concatenated escape features, getBuiltinModule/child_process/dangerous-require module references, obfuscation features (String.fromCharCode/Buffer.from(base64)/atob(/charCodeAt — since round-7 reported only when combined with an in-file dynamic-execution signal (eval/new Function/vm etc.); routine byte handling for terminal protocols/encoding no longer false-positives) | info/heuristic |
| R8 | Scan timeout / file-too-large skip | info meta-rule |
Runtime monitoring (when runtimeGuard: watch) — alarm only
| Layer | Mechanism | Catches | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 sentinel | Subprocess polling host /proc | Memory bomb (>memLimit), sustained memory growth (leak; net window growth alarms by multiple), fork bomb (child-process burst), fd surge | Granularity = host-global (plugins share the process; can't attribute to a plugin) |
| T2 hooks | In-process wrapping of fs/child_process (incl. fs.promises) | Sensitive-path writes/deletes (/etc, ~/.ssh, .env…), key-file reads, spawn with shell/download-exfiltration keywords | Stack attribution best-effort; per-call wrapper overhead (I/O-heavy <5%, hot paths 10-20% range) |
| Shield | Browser conversation.session.header.actions + /vet/status.json | Green/yellow/red light + alarm count | Requires dsh web restart to activate |
Explicitly not detected (empirically verified)
| Form | Empirical result |
|---|---|
Indirect references: alias function const f = Function; f(...), process["getBuiltinModule"], globalThis.process, indirect eval (0, eval) | R6 info or zero findings, verdict=clean |
| Runtime/externally constructed payloads: base64 strings, hex/charCode assembly, reading code from network/env/args, self-modifying code | base64 constructor string tested → zero findings |
Non-source files: .jsx/.tsx/.vue/.json/binaries/wasm/shell scripts | Not in the scan surface (only .js/.ts/.mjs/.cjs) |
| Dependency chain/supply chain: import/require graph, dependency-version vulnerabilities, package.json scripts/install hooks, licenses, author reputation | Not parsed |
| Runtime behavior: network exfiltration, dynamic prototype-pollution chains, dead loops/resource exhaustion, timing, permission abuse | No dataflow/behavior analysis; static <builtin>.prototype override assignments are caught by R4 (round-7) |
Semantic knowledge: the actual services a plugin injects, process in bundler polyfills, shadowing boundary | R5 only recognizes 4 variable names; shadowing check is a v1 heuristic (undercounts) |
Legitimate process use by host tool packages (process.env config reads, process.stdin/stdout protocol, process.execPath spawn) | Resolved: targetKind grading — non-DSH plugin packages/official packages (generic) downgrade R3/R2/R10/R9 dead-loop to capability-surface/advice (info/medium), not into verdict; DSH plugin packages stay strict. round-7 adds shape downgrades: app-type packages (package.json declares bin) and bin entry files are likewise downgraded to capability surface; round-7.1 read-only member classification: pure read-only members (cwd/env/platform/pid, etc.) drop to info even in plugin mode (no-bin MCP/tool plugins like bridges no longer hurt); side-effect/escape members (kill/exit, etc.) stay high/critical. 195 official packages tested all clean |
Trust boundaries
- The verdict is produced only by the deterministic static layer — rules are regex/AST judgments, not spoofable by prompt injection.
- The static layer is physically isolated from plugin code — the scanner is a separate process; the AST is read-only and never eval'd.
- Review goes through the agent protocol — the agent follows the vet-audit-protocol skill steps (static criteria first, sensitive points dug into one by one); the verdict is unaffected by the review step.
- No single merged score — merging the verdict with subjective assessment is forbidden, to avoid polluting the verdict boundary.
- This product is not a security boundary — positioned as a "speed bump + forensics layer" (bypassable forms in Known Limitations 1 below, aligned with DSH's official stance).
- Fail-open by default — default
mode: report;denyis explicitly enabled by the deployer. - Alarm-only — the runtime guard only watches, never kills; vet's automatic behavior (deny interception) exists only in the explicitly enabled opt-in mode. Alarms only carry advice; disposition is always left to the user on their DSH.
Known Limitations
- Static scanning is not a security boundary: obfuscated/encoded/dynamically generated code can bypass the
AST rules; R6 only provides a "suspicious" signal.
1b. Source enumeration limits:
internal/pluginauto-scan only recursively collects ≤6 levels deep, non-hidden (non-dot-prefixed) .js/.ts/.mjs/.cjs files — deep or hidden directories are silently unscanned (no warning); use scan_plugin(target=package) manually for a full directory scan. - Agent review can be prompt-injected: the verdict never comes from the review step, but the agent may miss things — the confidence field lets users know.
internal/pluginguard doesn't cover runtime dynamic-mount escapes: the vm path is intercepted at the call layer by thetools/executeguard.- R5 is code-only: ctx access in files scenarios isn't reported by default (high false-positive rate).
- Scan duration: large plugin packages may time out and skip (R8 info); agent review proceeds per the vet-audit-protocol steps.
- The verdict is the static layer's deterministic judgment; the agent's subjective assessment is recorded in the health record and doesn't constitute a security guarantee.
- /vet/status.json has no auth: the shield's polling needs anonymous GET, and the route itself isn't authenticated — if dsh web binds to a non-loopback address, LAN clients can read scan conclusions/alarm targets. vet is an alarm-only observer and won't overreach into access control; if you care, keep loopback binding or trust your network (the POST guard toggle already has same-origin validation; no-Origin requests are rejected).
@deepseek-ai/*is trusted by default: if the official ecosystem is ever compromised, tighten this (v1 keeps the switch). scan_plugin judges official packages as generic (capability-surface downgrade) — an official-package supply-chain attack would let static downgrade mask process access (recorded, P-5; official packages are the platform itself, same policy as the internal/plugin official exemption). vet's own exemption is likewise narrowed (P-3): it now matches by name AND verifies via realpath that the target is the current vet instance — a same-name impostor package (file: install has no registry validation) is judged by the strictest plugin rules.- R10's known-vulnerability check depends on an OSV network query: on by default, sending "package
name + exact version" to api.osv.dev (disclosed in the README config section; set
osvCheck: falseif you care); network failure/timeout degrades silently to skip (never false-blocks); only exact versions are queried —*/>=/^/~ranges and version-less main packages are skipped (P3-1/P3-3; round-7 fix:^/~no longer strip their prefix to query as exact lower bounds — the lower bound being affected while the actually installed version is already fixed would false-positive). Indirect transitive dependencies are not in the check surface. - R11 only recognizes
fs.*forms: destructured/aliased calls (const { unlinkSync } = require('fs')) and runtime paths are missed (empirically recorded; a static boundary). - T1/T2 are "security cameras", not "vaults": they catch obvious mischief (memory/fork bombs,
sensitive-path operations, third-party spawn) but not worker threads/native plugins/low-traffic slow
exfiltration; T2 doesn't cover ESM named-import snapshots,
process.binding, and other side channels. - T2 attribution & noise reduction: stack attribution is best-effort (shared services/timers across plugins can mis-attribute); official-package spawn is not alarmed by default (capability grant).
- Shield activation requires a
dsh webrestart: client-modules scans thedsh.clientdeclaration at startup; the browser won't load the shield before the restart, but the /vet/status.json endpoint and the runtime guard (host side) take effect on restart. - Runtime guard is off by default (
runtimeGuard: 'off'): wrapping fs/child_process carries performance and stability costs; opt-in. process.killstays high (intentional, round-7.1): kill is a side-effect member and doesn't degrade with the read-only members — but a plugin killing its own spawned child (MCP/bridge-style) is a normal capability surface (dsh-bridges tested: 98/134 cleared; the remaining highs are all process.kill in run.js/util.js). Statically distinguishingprocess.kill(child.pid)(pid from this package's own spawn return) from arbitrary pids needs dataflow analysis — high cost, low benefit; kept as-is, to be ruled out manually by the agent during vet-audit-protocol review (conclusion recorded in the health record).- Platform support (Linux-first, graceful degradation elsewhere): the static scan layer (scanner-bin /
scan_plugin / R1-R12 / OSV), T2 runtime hooks, honeypot, GUI shield and audit protocol are all pure JS and
run cross-platform (macOS/Windows). The T1 sentinel is Linux-only: it depends on /proc for
VmRSS/children/fd; on non-Linux the sentinel exits gracefully and the metrics panel falls back to -1/0 (no
errors, no log spam, by design). T2 sensitive paths match by path-segment name (backslashes are normalized,
so
.ssh/.env/credentialsetc. hit on Windows too), but the "system-root prefix" (/etc /usr /var) is POSIX-shaped: on Windows, write/delete ofC:\Windows\System32-style paths bypasses the system-root judgment (segment-name/keyword checks still apply); macOS has /etc /usr /var, so T2 is fully functional. Consistent with DSH current Linux-first adaptation state.
