Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install-time execution hook, and the CLI's process, network, and file operations are tied to user-invoked review, setup, and configuration commands. The scanner's command-output and agent-configuration signals match those documented CLI functions; the inspected code does not show automatic exfiltration or an unauthorized default write. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T00:56:14.408Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T00:56:38.590Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 224 ms - **AI review time:** 22938 ms - **Total time:** 24182 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:** No attack was identified. The package provides a user-invoked CLI for managing its skills, reviewing pull requests, and configuring model providers. - **Trigger:** Explicit CLI commands such as \`yoke sync\`, \`yoke review\`, or \`yoke review-ci\`; no install-time hook is declared. - **Impact:** Expected effects include writing package skills under \`.claude/skills\`, creating a workflow when requested, and sending review requests to configured services. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T00:56:38.590Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Commands use local CLI processes and files for their stated tasks. Model probes use the configured provider URL, while skill and workflow writes are performed by explicit commands. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time execution hook, and the CLI's process, network, and file operations are tied to user-invoked review, setup, and configuration commands. The scanner's command-output and agent-configuration signals match those documented CLI functions; the inspected code does not show automatic exfiltration or an unauthorized default write. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/\/SKILL.md, .github/workflows/review-pr.yml - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and has only a \`prepublishOnly\` build script; no install hook runs on registry install., The \`.claude/skills\` writes occur only in the explicit \`yoke sync\` command, with user-scope writes requiring \`--user\`., The review command is user-invoked; provider probes send a \`ping\` to the configured provider endpoint using its configured key. - **Evidence against:** The CLI can execute \`gh\`, \`git\`, Claude, and Codex processes and can access their output as part of its requested review and PR workflows., Review operations can contact GitHub or a configured model provider, and \`review --post\` can publish findings when explicitly requested. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @makerx/yoke@0.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @makerx/yoke@0.7.0 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. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs. ### 2. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 3. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution.

High: Command Output Exfiltration - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source combines command execution, command-output handling, and outbound requests; review data flow before blocking. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L1223: async function claudeSignedIn() { L1224: const { ok, stdout } = await exec("claude", ["auth", "status", "--json"]); L1225: if (!ok) return false; ...

High: External Ai Agent Control Surface Mutation - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Runtime or CLI source writes behavior-bearing configuration into a user or project AI-agent control surface. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Runtime or CLI code links a write operation to an explicit external AI-agent control path: telling the user to commit and push the workflow file. if \`yoke\` is not found, run \`npm i -g @makerx/yoke\` and retry. ` }; var reviewskill = { name: "review", description: "adversarially review a pr with claude and codex, then combine their findings.", disablemodelinvocation: true, body: ` run \`yoke review $arguments\` in the foreground, not as a background task, with the longest timeout your shell tool allows, so the user sees each reviewer's progress as it streams; two reviewers and a synthesis pass take several minutes. then relay the findings it printed. do not add findings of your own or re-review the code. each reviewer's tool calls go to \`review. ``` ### 10.
