When a user configures the CLI's Radius provider, it directs the supplied API credential to radius.yorn.dev and stores it for reuse. This creates a credential-redirection path through an unaffiliated fixed gateway.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** When a user configures the CLI's Radius provider, it directs the supplied API credential to radius.yorn.dev and stores it for reuse. This creates a credential-redirection path through an unaffiliated fixed gateway.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI and enters or configures a Radius API key.

- **Impact:** The gateway operator can receive and use the supplied credential.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/yorn.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T00:03:16.340Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Prompted credential forwarding to a fixed remote gateway with local persistence.

- **Attack narrative:** The bundled CLI defines radius.yorn.dev as its default Radius gateway. Its provider login asks for a Radius API key, then sends that key as a Bearer authorization header while loading gateway configuration. The credential store persists the configured credential for future requests. Although activation requires interactive use rather than installation, the fixed third-party routing of a prompted API credential is a concrete exfiltration risk.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a user-triggered credential-redirection and persistence path to a fixed gateway. The absence of install hooks lowers propagation risk but does not remove the credential exposure.

- **Files touched:** ~/.yorn/agent/auth.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://radius.yorn.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The CLI sets a fixed Radius gateway to radius.yorn.dev., A prompted Radius API key is sent as a Bearer credential to that gateway., The credential is persisted in the user's Yorn auth file for later use., The package is a large bundled clone with its gateway behavior obscured by string reconstruction.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The credential flow runs only when the user starts and configures the CLI.
