## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.0.431
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Normal agent startup mutates the user's Claude plugin control surface and fetches a Yeaft plugin repository. It can also fetch checksum-pinned helper binaries into its own Yeaft directory.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Normal agent startup mutates the user's Claude plugin control surface and fetches a Yeaft plugin repository. It can also fetch checksum-pinned helper binaries into its own Yeaft directory.

- **Trigger:** Run the package's index.js/yeaft-agent foreground agent without YEAFT\_SKIP\_STARTUP\_INSTALLS=true.

- **Impact:** Enables a remotely updated Yeaft plugin in ~/.claude and adds executable helpers under ~/.yeaft.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T13:41:31.305Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic Claude plugin registration plus runtime dependency/tool installation.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes unconsented runtime mutation of the Claude plugin control surface, creating a meaningful extension-lifecycle risk. It does not establish install-time malware, exfiltration, destructive behavior, or a foreign/broad control-surface takeover.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git, https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/15.2.0/, 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., index.js clones github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills and pulls updates automatically., index.js writes ~/.claude plugin marketplace, cache, and enabledPlugins settings., index.js installs/downloads executable CLI tools at runtime when absent., service/{macos,linux,windows}.js provide explicit persistent-service installation.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Claude plugin mutation occurs on runtime startup, not npm installation., Plugin setup is identifiable as Yeaft-owned and can be skipped with YEAFT\_SKIP\_STARTUP\_INSTALLS., Managed tool downloads use pinned GitHub assets and SHA-256 verification., No source evidence of credential harvesting or secret exfiltration.
