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 is a user-invoked CLI, with no install hook or import-time attack behavior identified. Its process, network, and skill-file operations serve its documented review and synchronization commands. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T03:55:08.897Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T03:55:36.594Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 242 ms - **AI review time:** 26944 ms - **Total time:** 27697 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 an explicitly invoked CLI for PR reviews, provider checks, and synchronizing its own Claude Code skills. - **Trigger:** User runs a yoke CLI command; review and skill synchronization are not triggered by package installation or import. - **Impact:** These commands can access the user’s configured review provider and create or update yoke-owned skill files at the selected location. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T03:55:36.594Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Review runs configured Claude/Codex CLIs and sends a minimal ping to a configured provider endpoint. The sync command writes the package’s bundled skill instructions to .claude/skills locations. - **Rationale:** The package is a user-invoked CLI, with no install hook or import-time attack behavior identified. Its process, network, and skill-file operations serve its documented review and synchronization commands. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, \/.claude/skills/\*/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/review-ci/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** User-configured model provider base URL, GitHub CLI endpoints used by explicit PR commands ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes the package as user-invoked CLI skills and exposes dist/cli.js as a command, with no install hook., The review workflow writes a request file and invokes configured Claude/Codex reviewers when the user runs the review command., Provider probes POST a small ping request to the configured provider endpoint., The sync command writes bundled skill files under the repository’s .claude/skills or the user’s ~/.claude/skills; it is not run automatically. - **Evidence against:** The CLI performs shell execution, network requests, and writes AI-agent skill configuration, but those actions are tied to explicit commands., No automatic credential collection or transmission to an unrelated host was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @makerx/yoke@0.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @makerx/yoke@0.8.0 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.

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.
