## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Starting the agent automatically installs and enables a remote Yeaft plugin in the user's Claude plugin control surface. This is an unprompted runtime extension lifecycle mutation, not an install-hook action.

- **Trigger:** Run the default agent entrypoint without YEAFT\_SKIP\_STARTUP\_INSTALLS=true.

- **Impact:** A remotely updated third-party plugin becomes enabled for the user's Claude environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, yeaft/managed-cli.js, yeaft/llm/models-dev.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

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

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** git clone/pull plus writes to Claude plugin registry and settings files

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic Claude plugin installation/enabling path at runtime. Policy reserves blocking for unconsented npm install-hook mutation, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** index.js, ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/yeaft-skills-dev, ~/.claude/plugins/known\_marketplaces.json, ~/.claude/plugins/installed\_plugins.json, ~/.claude/plugins/cache/yeaft-skills-dev/yeaft-skills/0.1.0, ~/.claude/settings.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git, https://models.dev/api.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js startup calls ensureYeaftSkills() by default., It clones https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git into ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces., It writes Claude known\_marketplaces, installed\_plugins, and enabledPlugins settings., The downloaded plugin is copied to Claude's active plugin cache and hook files are chmod 0755.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The mutation occurs only when the agent runtime is started, not during npm installation., No source-confirmed credential harvesting or unrelated exfiltration was found.
