## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running interactive yorn can contact registry.npmjs.org and open a terminal to globally update the package. This creates an automatic runtime self-update path.

- **Trigger:** User runs interactive \`yorn\` in a TTY.

- **Impact:** A newer registry release can replace the globally installed CLI without a separate update command.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T12:42:20.321Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Registry version check followed by spawned global package-manager update.

- **Rationale:** The automatic global self-update is a real risky runtime capability, amplified by opaque bundled code. It does not meet the block threshold because it is user-triggered CLI behavior and no concrete malicious chain was confirmed.

- **Files touched:** dist/yorn.cjs, package.json

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** Interactive startup checks npm and automatically launches a global package-manager update in a new terminal., The shipped CLI is heavily string-obfuscated, which impedes auditability of its privileged agent behavior.

- **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall hook is declared., The manifest-reachable behavior is a user-invoked coding-agent CLI; no concrete credential exfiltration was confirmed., The documented credential store is package-owned.
