@pilllesss/yorn@1.0.186

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package contains a user-facing coding-agent CLI and a runtime self-update feature, but inspection found no install hook or concrete malicious behavior. The static allegations of credential diversion and foreign overwrite were not substantiated by the reviewed source.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running the interactive yorn command when a newer version is available.

Impact

It can replace the installed yorn CLI with a newer release.

Mechanism

Package-aligned self-update through the local package manager.

AI rationale

Evidence

Network endpoints1

registry.npmjs.org/${qZ}/latest

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The interactive CLI includes an automatic global-update path that runs the selected package manager.

Evidence against

package.json has only a prepublishOnly build hook, not an install-time lifecycle hook.
The reviewed executable uses the package name from its own manifest for version checks and updates.
No confirmed credential exfiltration, foreign-package overwrite, or unconsented agent-control write was found in the inspected source.
