AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's payload and credential-redirection claims are not supported by the inspected source. However, this package deliberately modifies AI-agent extension directories on an explicit command and has networked telemetry and authenticated service capabilities, so it warrants a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs `taskless init`, or runs a normal CLI command with telemetry enabled or authenticated remote features.
Impact
Project AI-agent behavior can be extended by Taskless files; repository metadata and CLI usage telemetry may be transmitted.
Mechanism
User-invoked AI-tool skill installation plus telemetry and authenticated API calls.
AI rationale
The scanner's payload and credential-redirection claims are not supported by the inspected source. However, this package deliberately modifies AI-agent extension directories on an explicit command and has networked telemetry and authenticated service capabilities, so it warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit `taskless init` flow writes Taskless skill files into selected AI-tool directories.
- Every CLI run initializes telemetry unless the user sets an opt-out environment variable.
- Authenticated service requests attach the saved Taskless bearer token to the configured API endpoint.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- AI-tool file changes are reached through the user-invoked `init` command, not package installation.
- The login flow displays a device authorization URL and stores its token locally with restrictive permissions.
