YellowKey is a security research repository documenting a reported BitLocker bypass vulnerability affecting modern Windows recovery environments. The project is not a general-purpose application, but a proof-of-concept disclosure intended for vulnerability awareness, defensive research, and incident response discussion. It highlights how recovery tooling and boot-adjacent components can create serious risks even when full-disk encryption is enabled. The repository is relevant to security teams, system administrators, forensic analysts, and researchers who monitor Windows endpoint exposure. Because the topic involves bypassing encrypted storage protections, its safest use is for understanding risk, validating defensive posture in authorized environments, and prioritizing patching or mitigation. It should be treated as sensitive security research rather than a user-facing utility.
