## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Remote repository content is placed into and enabled within the user's Claude plugin system.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.359
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Starting the agent silently installs, updates, registers, and enables a Yeaft plugin in the user's Claude plugin control surface. This is runtime behavior, not npm install-time behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Starting the agent silently installs, updates, registers, and enables a Yeaft plugin in the user's Claude plugin control surface. This is runtime behavior, not npm install-time behavior.

- **Trigger:** Run the index.js agent entry point without YEAFT\_SKIP\_STARTUP\_INSTALLS=true.

- **Impact:** Remote repository content is placed into and enabled within the user's Claude plugin system.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, service/macos.js, yeaft/managed-cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T13:55:05.586Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** automatic remote Claude-plugin installation and enablement

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk requiring a warning, not evidence of malicious npm install-time compromise. No credential exfiltration, destructive payload, or unconsented lifecycle hook was confirmed.

- **Files touched:** index.js, ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/yeaft-skills-dev, ~/.claude/plugins/known\_marketplaces.json, ~/.claude/plugins/installed\_plugins.json, ~/.claude/settings.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** index.js auto-runs ensureYeaftSkills on agent startup., It clones/pulls https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git., It writes and enables a plugin in ~/.claude settings and plugin registries., No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook is declared.

- **Evidence against:** Plugin setup is package-aligned Yeaft skills, not a hidden foreign-agent mutation., Service persistence is only behind explicit yeaft-agent install commands., Managed binary downloads use pinned SHA-256 verification.
