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 install lifecycle, hidden payload loader, credential redirection, or covert exfiltration was confirmed. The explicit unverified runtime-code path remains a meaningful dangerous capability and warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T17:01:09.252Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T17:02:30.641Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 3068 ms - **AI review time:** 78068 ms - **Total time:** 81389 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 running taskless check can cause runtime-rule JavaScript or TypeScript to execute with that user's privileges. The default path requires authentication and service reconciliation; an explicit flag bypasses that check. - **Trigger:** Run taskless check in a project containing .taskless runtime rules, especially with --dangerously-run-scripts. - **Impact:** Runtime-rule code can access files and perform actions available to the invoking user. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T17:02:30.641Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic import and invocation of runtime-rule check.ts. - **Rationale:** No install lifecycle, hidden payload loader, credential redirection, or covert exfiltration was confirmed. The explicit unverified runtime-code path remains a meaningful dangerous capability and warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** .taskless/rules/runtime/\/check.ts, .taskless/.run/runtime-rules - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli, https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI dynamically imports and invokes project runtime-rule check.ts code., The check command exposes an explicit flag to run unverified runtime code., Authenticated default execution sends runtime-rule signatures to the service and runs only rules it returns as allowed. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., Runtime rules are skipped by default when anonymous, unauthenticated, or without a GitHub remote., The decoded base64 uses are library YAML/JWT handling, not a hidden payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260907165206x0553dfb. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.1-20260907165206x0553dfb 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.
