@taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260907022019x5f0a776
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete install hook, credential theft, hidden payload loader, or unconsented agent-control mutation was verified. The exposed arbitrary project-rule execution and telemetry create a real but user-invoked risk that merits a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running taskless commands that initialize telemetry or execute runtime rules.
Impact
A malicious project rule can execute with the invoking user's permissions; telemetry includes a persistent identifier and repository metadata.
Mechanism
Dynamic import of a runtime check plus telemetry capture.
AI rationale
No concrete install hook, credential theft, hidden payload loader, or unconsented agent-control mutation was verified. The exposed arbitrary project-rule execution and telemetry create a real but user-invoked risk that merits a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The published CLI entry point reaches dist/index.js.
- The runtime-rule harness dynamically imports and calls a supplied check file.
- The harness launches that code in a detached Node subprocess.
- CLI telemetry sends an identifier, version data, and repository owner data to z.taskless.io.
- The bundled reference defines runtime rules that inspect project environment files.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The inspected network code is telemetry and explicit device-login traffic; no credential redirection was found.
- Telemetry can be disabled with TASKLESS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
- Agent-skill installation is an explicit taskless init command, not an npm lifecycle action.
