YouTrack CLI is a single-user, local command-line tool. In-scope concerns include handling of remote/network-influenced input (e.g. YouTrack API responses), transport security of credentials, and command execution. Threats that require another malicious local user on the same machine (e.g. local file permissions) are outside the tool's threat model.
