## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Starting the agent automatically installs and enables a Yeaft plugin in the separate Claude CLI control surface. It fetches mutable remote content and changes Claude plugin configuration.

- **Trigger:** Run the normal agent entrypoint (yeaft-agent or node index.js) without YEAFT\_SKIP\_STARTUP\_INSTALLS=true.

- **Impact:** A Yeaft-controlled plugin is added, cached, and enabled for the user's Claude CLI.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

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

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Runtime git clone/pull plus Claude plugin registration

- **Rationale:** The package does not show install-time malware, credential theft, or covert exfiltration. Its automatic mutation of another AI-agent's plugin control surface and remote-content fetch is a real, package-aligned lifecycle risk that warrants a warning.

- **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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js auto-runs ensureYeaftSkills on agent startup, It clones/pulls github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills, It writes ~/.claude/plugins metadata and ~/.claude/settings.json, It enables yeaft-skills without an explicit setup command

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook, Service persistence is only reached through explicit yeaft-agent install, The extension is Yeaft-owned and its actions are logged
