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. No concrete automatic malicious behavior or credential-redirection persistence was confirmed. The package nevertheless combines first-party AI-tool setup with an explicit untrusted-code execution mode, so it warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T02:53:10.447Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T02:54:10.961Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 3271 ms - **AI review time:** 56486 ms - **Total time:** 60514 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:** A user-run init command can modify detected AI-tool skill locations. A user can also explicitly enable execution of local runtime-rule code. - **Trigger:** Running taskless init --no-interactive or taskless check --dangerously-run-scripts. - **Impact:** Can alter AI-tool extensions and execute untrusted project rule code under the invoking user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T02:54:10.961Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-tool skill installation and dynamic execution of local rule modules. - **Rationale:** No concrete automatic malicious behavior or credential-redirection persistence was confirmed. The package nevertheless combines first-party AI-tool setup with an explicit untrusted-code execution mode, so it warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** .taskless/.run/runtime-rules, .taskless/.env.local.json - **Network endpoints:** https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked init command can install mandatory Taskless skills into every detected AI tool without prompting., Runtime rule checks dynamically import a local check file and call its default function, enabling execution of rule code., The package sends telemetry to z.taskless.io unless opted out. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., Interactive init asks which tools to enable before writing skills., Runtime rules are skipped by default when unauthenticated and require an explicit dangerous flag to bypass verification., The reported base64 handling is JWT decoding, not an obfuscated payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260904024645x341327d. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260904024645x341327d 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.
