## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.0.259
- **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 automatic consumer-install hook was found, so there is insufficient evidence for a malware block. The obfuscated runtime and inconsistent automatic global-update flow warrant a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 77.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-03T23:31:02.794Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-03T23:32:51.686Z
- **Download time:** 760 ms
- **Static scan time:** 8514 ms
- **AI review time:** 99617 ms
- **Total time:** 108892 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 yorn CLI activates an AI coding agent with shell and file capabilities. Its update path can open a terminal to globally install the publisher package after checking a differently named package.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the yorn CLI interactively.

- **Impact:** It can execute agent-selected commands and replace the globally installed CLI during normal interactive use.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T23:32:51.686Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated AI-agent runtime with automatic global self-update.

- **Rationale:** No automatic consumer-install hook was found, so there is insufficient evidence for a malware block. The obfuscated runtime and inconsistent automatic global-update flow warrant a warning.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 77.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes an executable AI-agent CLI., Its bundled runtime is heavily obfuscated and includes automatic update behavior; the README names a different package for the version check than for installation.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares only prepublishOnly, not an install-time lifecycle hook., No concrete credential-exfiltration endpoint or unconsented install-time mutation was confirmed by source inspection.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.259.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pilllesss/yorn@1.0.259 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.
