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 is not malicious by the inspected static evidence, but its remote-backed runtime-rule executor is a meaningful code-execution capability. It warrants a warning rather than a publication block because activation is user-commanded and lifecycle installation is absent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T03:31:13.731Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T03:32:20.735Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 3030 ms - **AI review time:** 63453 ms - **Total time:** 67004 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-invoked check can execute runtime rule code and may materialize approved rules under the project. The CLI also emits telemetry during normal command use. - **Trigger:** Run the taskless check command with authenticated runtime rules, or explicitly pass --dangerously-run-scripts. - **Impact:** Runtime rules can execute with the invoking user's project access; telemetry includes CLI and repository-owner metadata. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T03:32:20.735Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic import of runtime check.ts code after service reconciliation. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected static evidence, but its remote-backed runtime-rule executor is a meaningful code-execution capability. It warrants a warning rather than a publication block because activation is user-commanded and lifecycle installation is absent. - **Files touched:** .taskless/.run/runtime-rules, check.ts - **Network endpoints:** app.taskless.io, z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The check feature dynamically imports and invokes project runtime-rule code., Authenticated checks can copy server-approved runtime rules into the project before execution., The CLI sends usage telemetry to a fixed Taskless endpoint. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Runtime execution is skipped in anonymous mode and requires either authentication or an explicit dangerous flag., The inspected credential flow uses the Taskless API default and stores tokens in a repository-local file with restrictive permissions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260904032807xf08fd11. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260904032807xf08fd11 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.
