Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.13.5-20261103213417x8951788 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package discloses runtime telemetry and provides opt-outs, but the telemetry includes a GitHub owner and hashed workspace and repository identifiers. This is a telemetry privacy risk; the reviewed authentication code did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T21:54:58.640Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T21:56:11.211Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 4050 ms - **AI review time:** 67490 ms - **Total time:** 72571 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified; runtime telemetry sends identifying project and account dimensions to the package’s service. - **Trigger:** Telemetry initialization during CLI use, unless disabled by environment or project settings. - **Impact:** The service can correlate usage with an account and project despite the telemetry being described as anonymous. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T21:56:11.211Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends a GitHub owner and hashed workspace and repository identifiers with telemetry to z.taskless.io. - **Rationale:** The package discloses runtime telemetry and provides opt-outs, but the telemetry includes a GitHub owner and hashed workspace and repository identifiers. This is a telemetry privacy risk; the reviewed authentication code did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/taskless/anonymous\_id (or $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/taskless/anonymous\_id) - **Network endpoints:** https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime telemetry is sent to https://z.taskless.io using a persistent anonymous ID., Telemetry identifies the GitHub owner and includes workspace and repository identifiers; the repository ID is derived from the git origin and hashed., Telemetry can be disabled with TASKLESS\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=1, DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1, or a project setting. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the main entry is also the CLI binary., The telemetry notice describes anonymous usage telemetry and gives users an opt-out., The inspected authentication flow sends Taskless tokens to the Taskless API; no foreign credential redirect was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261103213417x8951788. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261103213417x8951788 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
