## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious install-time or import-time attack surface was found. Runtime capabilities are activated through the yorn CLI and documented user-requested workflows.

- **Trigger:** User runs the yorn CLI and explicitly requests a capability such as screenshot capture.

- **Impact:** No unconsented credential harvesting, exfiltration, persistence, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation was confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md, dist/skills/screenshot/scripts/ensure\_macos\_permissions.sh, dist/yorn.cjs, dist/providers/data/openai-codex.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T14:36:27.161Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Interactive AI coding agent with user-invoked local tools and configured model providers.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection found no install hook and no concrete malicious chain. Scanner findings correspond to the normal, user-invoked capabilities of a packaged AI coding CLI.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** Manifest exposes a CLI and has only prepublishOnly; no npm install lifecycle hook., Screenshot capability is documented as explicit-user-request only and saves locally., macOS helper explains the permission prompt before requesting it.

- **Evidence against:** The runtime is a broad AI coding CLI with shell, filesystem, network, and screenshot capabilities when the user runs it., Bundled provider configuration includes ChatGPT backend API endpoints, consistent with its stated AI-agent purpose.
