Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.0.194 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source does not establish the scanner's claimed credential redirection or exfiltration. However, automatic registry-driven installation and extensive obfuscation warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T18:22:32.568Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T18:24:52.623Z - **Download time:** 1263 ms - **Static scan time:** 8972 ms - **AI review time:** 129818 ms - **Total time:** 140055 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:** Running the interactive CLI can contact the npm registry and automatically run a global package-manager update. The package is a capable coding agent that can access project files and run commands after the user starts it, but no automatic install-time attack was found. - **Trigger:** The user runs yorn interactively with a terminal attached. - **Impact:** A registry response can cause replacement of the installed CLI, increasing supply-chain exposure. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/yorn.cjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T18:24:52.623Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Registry-driven automatic global self-update - **Rationale:** The source does not establish the scanner's claimed credential redirection or exfiltration. However, automatic registry-driven installation and extensive obfuscation warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/yorn.cjs, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/${qZ}/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The interactive CLI checks for updates and can invoke a package-manager install without a separate update command., The updater accepts the package name returned by the registry response, expanding the supply-chain trust boundary., The distributed executable is heavily obfuscated, which prevents straightforward auditing of its broad agent and shell capabilities. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., No concrete credential theft, command-output exfiltration, or foreign-package overwrite was confirmed from source inspection., Network use and stored provider credentials are consistent with an AI coding-agent CLI when the user runs it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.194. - Review the evidence and your use of @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.194 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.
