## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Launching interactive Yorn checks a foreign package identity and automatically initiates its update flow when a newer version is reported. The flow starts a child process to perform the update.

- **Trigger:** Run the interactive yorn CLI while a newer foreign-target version is available.

- **Impact:** Unconsented installation and execution of code selected by a different npm package identity.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/yorn.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T12:01:05.356Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** automatic foreign-package self-update via child process

- **Attack narrative:** The published package is @pilllesss/yorn, but its README identifies @siwatfa/yorn as the package checked on every interactive start. The bundled CLI queries its configured npm registry target, accepts the returned package name, invokes the update path during interactive initialization, and spawns the resulting update command. This creates a runtime supply-chain redirection from the installed package to a foreign package identity without a user requesting an update.

- **Rationale:** The automatic startup update path redirects the installed package's trust boundary to a conflicting foreign npm identity and executes the resulting updater. This is concrete unconsented remote code-install behavior, not ordinary user-invoked agent functionality.

- **Files touched:** dist/yorn.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** README declares interactive startup checks foreign @siwatfa/yorn., Bundled startup invokes update when a newer remote version is found., Updater launches a child process for update steps., Manifest identity conflicts with the README's embedded update target.

- **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only builds., Screenshot permission helper explains and requests consent.
