A review of over 11,000 plugins for DeepSeek Harness revealed a significant lack of official governance and security mechanisms. Despite DeepSeek's open-source approach, the plugin ecosystem is largely unmanaged, with no clear definition of what constitutes a plugin. This has led to a proliferation of low-quality or irrelevant plugins, with many failing basic installation requirements. Furthermore, the security measures, including read-only access, are ineffective, allowing plugins to access sensitive information like API keys and local files, essentially granting them full system access upon installation.
