The easy red flag here is YAML. It’s a hideous, overly-complex format for anything so of course a scam would choose it.
I see you get downvoted a lot. But as a norwegian that repeatedly have run into the norwegian problem when trying to use some program... i see you.
YAML 1.2 was released 15 years ago and fixed this issue. The problem is not YAML but the libraries people are using to parse it being a decade and a half out of date.
