I don't have any idea why yum would be yum -y but if you did not do it, I would suspect someone else has been on your machine and did this? (See the Selinux threads for why you should use it.) I would, at a minimum, consider this system compromised.
But Selinux, I have disabled! and further, if someone is on my machine, there is no other change except this one and by doing this one a net zero percentage of benefit he/she would be getting! But I don't know if my machine has been compromised or not but I never desire that and as far as my intellectual exists, it is not being compromised.
Given what you posted, I have no idea why your system is receiving yum -y instead of yum and you being prompted for permission to install.
And with that information, no your system does not appear to be compromised. However, might I suggest running with SeLinux in permissive mode? That way you will receive alerts when your system is 'touched' by someone other than you?

Really ambiguous situation!

"Really ambiguous situation" doesn't really help. Maybe you can try reinstalling the yum package so all the configs etc are updated and freshened up to pristine quality?
"yum reinstall yum"?

Yes it doesn't help. But it is a symbol of some problem. Suppose when you fall alone and facing some problem then your gesture would initialize with these type of words. Another example: 'Oh my God!'.

"yum reinstall yum"?
Yes, this I guess would surely help as yum would come in the pristine quality back.

I don't understand why you are not trying out the two proposals and posting back the results to the list. Are you having trouble understanding what was advised? If so, please tell us we can be more elaborate with our responses the next time.
GL.

I was having some problem of Internet. Now its okay. I tried:
yum reinstall yum
and it worked. So I didn't install the additional package since it would take care, I guess.
please tell us we can be more elaborate with our responses the next time.
That's the real community support. Thanks.
