The stated agent capability includes project file access and command execution, but no concrete malicious chain is visible. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T21:53:38.904Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T21:55:06.065Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 309 ms - **AI review time:** 86076 ms - **Total time:** 87161 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running the yorn CLI invokes an obfuscated dynamic loader and packaged V8 bytecode. The stated agent capability includes project file access and command execution, but no concrete malicious chain is visible. - **Trigger:** User runs the yorn CLI. - **Impact:** Unreviewable runtime code could act with the invoking user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/load.cjs, dist/load.js, dist/yorn.jsc - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T21:55:06.065Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opaque dynamic loader and compiled agent payload. - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious behavior was established, but the executable payload is intentionally opaque while claiming high-privilege coding-agent capabilities. Warn rather than block because activation is user-invoked and no install-time mutation or exfiltration chain was found. - **Files touched:** dist/load.cjs, dist/load.js, dist/yorn.jsc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** CLI loader executes an opaque dynamic Function payload., A second loader is likewise obfuscated and dynamically evaluated., README confirms intentional obfuscation and V8 bytecode compilation., Documented runtime agent can read/edit files and execute commands., No install hook is declared; the only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall script., No concrete credential exfiltration, destructive action, or attacker endpoint was recoverable from readable loader source., The sensitive behavior is documented as user-invoked CLI functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
