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 hook or concealed payload was found. The package nevertheless provides a dangerous, remotely mediated runtime-rule execution capability, so it warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T18:21:11.716Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T18:21:15.260Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 3291 ms - **AI review time:** 59498 ms - **Total time:** 3544 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 user-invoked CLI can execute project-provided runtime rule code. Server reconciliation can also select runtime rules for an authenticated check. - **Trigger:** Run taskless check with --dangerously-run-scripts, or run an authenticated check that accepts reconciled runtime rules. - **Impact:** A malicious runtime rule can run arbitrary code with the invoking user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T18:21:15.260Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic import and child-process execution of project check.ts files. - **Rationale:** No install lifecycle hook or concealed payload was found. The package nevertheless provides a dangerous, remotely mediated runtime-rule execution capability, so it warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** .taskless/rules/runtime/\*/check.ts, .taskless/.run/runtime-rules - **Network endpoints:** app.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 CLI explicitly offers a flag that executes untrusted runtime-rule code., Its runtime harness dynamically imports a project rule's check.ts and runs it in a child Node process., Authenticated checks can execute runtime rules after a remote reconciliation decision. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., The unsafe local execution path requires an explicit --dangerously-run-scripts flag and emits a warning., The reported base64 and eval signals are library/parser code and embedded examples, not a hidden payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260908181852x4929ad3. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260908181852x4929ad3 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.
