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 automatic npm lifecycle execution or confirmed payload theft was found. The user-invoked agent-control-surface mutation is a real dangerous capability that warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T02:09:13.674Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T02:10:25.923Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 2992 ms - **AI review time:** 68499 ms - **Total time:** 72249 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:** The explicit taskless init command installs Taskless skills and command stubs into detected AI-tool project directories. It can also remove its previously recorded files. - **Trigger:** A user runs taskless init, including taskless init --no-interactive. - **Impact:** It can alter agent behavior within the selected project. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T02:10:25.923Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes and removes Taskless AI-agent skill and command files. - **Rationale:** No automatic npm lifecycle execution or confirmed payload theft was found. The user-invoked agent-control-surface mutation is a real dangerous capability that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .claude, .opencode, .cursor, .agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The init command detects Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Codex project control surfaces., Init writes Taskless skill and command files and can remove previously recorded ones., The package exposes this as an explicit user-invoked init command, including a non-interactive mode. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., No self-dependency, hidden payload execution, or credential exfiltration was confirmed., Agent-control changes require running the CLI's init command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260908005308x64d6808. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260908005308x64d6808 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.
