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 source, but it deliberately installs agent extensions and can execute runtime rule code. Policy classifies this first-party agent extension lifecycle capability as warn-level risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T06:41:35.410Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T06:43:00.061Z - **Download time:** 1006 ms - **Static scan time:** 3235 ms - **AI review time:** 80409 ms - **Total time:** 84651 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:** Running the CLI init command can add or replace Taskless skill files in project AI-agent directories. Runtime-rule execution can import project-supplied TypeScript. - **Trigger:** A user runs taskless init or invokes runtime rule checking. - **Impact:** Project agent behavior can be changed and runtime rules can execute code in the project context. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T06:43:00.061Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent skill installation and dynamic runtime-rule import. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected source, but it deliberately installs agent extensions and can execute runtime rule code. Policy classifies this first-party agent extension lifecycle capability as warn-level risk. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills, .claude/skills, .cursor/skills, .opencode/skills, .taskless/.env.local.json - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli, https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked init command can install Taskless skills into detected Codex, Claude, Cursor, and OpenCode project control directories., The package contains a runtime-rule harness that dynamically imports and executes check.ts code., The CLI performs device-code authentication and sends telemetry to Taskless-owned endpoints. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Agent-directory changes occur through the CLI init flow, not automatically at npm installation., Authentication requires browser device-code approval, and tokens are stored locally with mode 0600., No obfuscated loader, credential redirect, self-dependency, or install-time payload was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260905063821xcf5232d. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260905063821xcf5232d 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.
