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. The high-risk primitive is transparent and command-gated, but it executes project code and can transmit an authentication bearer token to the configured service. The scanner's claimed api.example.com credential gateway is a demo fixture, not an active endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T10:59:05.207Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T11:00:13.713Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 3146 ms - **AI review time:** 64589 ms - **Total time:** 68506 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 CLI can execute project runtime-rule code when its check command is invoked. Normal execution requires server reconciliation; an explicit flag bypasses that guard. - **Trigger:** A user runs the runtime-rule check flow, especially with --dangerously-run-scripts. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code in a selected project rule can run with the invoking user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T11:00:13.713Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic import and execution of project check.ts files. - **Rationale:** The high-risk primitive is transparent and command-gated, but it executes project code and can transmit an authentication bearer token to the configured service. The scanner's claimed api.example.com credential gateway is a demo fixture, not an active endpoint. - **Files touched:** .taskless/rules/runtime/\/check.ts, .taskless/.env.local.json - **Network endpoints:** app.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked runtime-rule harness dynamically imports and calls a project check file., Authenticated runtime-rule reconciliation sends its bearer token to the configured Taskless API., Runtime rules can be explicitly run without server verification using a danger-labelled flag. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The default API endpoint is app.taskless.io; the scanner's api.example.com match is embedded demo fixture text., Without the explicit flag, anonymous, unauthenticated, or unverified runtime rules are withheld. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260911010750xea9cef8. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260911010750xea9cef8 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.
