Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 22 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse - **Selected version:** 1.0.228 - **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. No concrete malware payload or secret exfiltration was confirmed. The automatic, registry-controlled global update path remains a meaningful supply-chain risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T15:31:52.277Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T15:35:23.344Z - **Download time:** 1276 ms - **Static scan time:** 11756 ms - **AI review time:** 198034 ms - **Total time:** 211067 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:** Starting the interactive CLI can trigger an automatic global package update. The updater uses npm registry metadata and accepts the returned package name. - **Trigger:** A user starts yorn interactively while a newer version is reported. - **Impact:** A registry response can cause replacement of the installed CLI without an explicit update command. - **Evidence paths:** dist/yorn.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T15:35:23.344Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic registry-driven global package-manager installation. - **Rationale:** No concrete malware payload or secret exfiltration was confirmed. The automatic, registry-controlled global update path remains a meaningful supply-chain risk. - **Files touched:** dist/yorn.cjs - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes the bundled CLI as the yorn command., On interactive startup, the CLI checks npm for a newer version and begins an automatic global update., The update metadata accepts the registry response name, so the installed package name can differ from the manifest name. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The observed network destination is the npm registry; no credential-harvesting or exfiltration endpoint was confirmed., The screenshot helpers are explicit user-invoked utilities and save captures locally. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.228. - Review the evidence and your use of @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.228 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.
