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 unrestricted endpoint override combined with automatic bearer-token forwarding is a concrete dangerous capability. It warrants a warning, but the default destination is package-aligned and no active malicious chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T22:25:57.606Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T22:27:29.244Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 2112 ms - **AI review time:** 88763 ms - **Total time:** 91638 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 configured API endpoint can receive an existing Taskless bearer token. No confirmed covert attack or install-time execution was identified. - **Trigger:** A user invokes an authenticated Taskless remote API operation after setting TASKLESS\_API\_URL or the Taskless config apiUrl. - **Impact:** A malicious or mistaken configured endpoint could receive the Taskless session token. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T22:27:29.244Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The endpoint selector accepts an unrestricted configured URL, and the API client attaches the project or environment token as a Bearer header. - **Rationale:** The unrestricted endpoint override combined with automatic bearer-token forwarding is a concrete dangerous capability. It warrants a warning, but the default destination is package-aligned and no active malicious chain was found. - **Files touched:** .taskless/.env.local.json, config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entrypoint and has no npm install lifecycle hook., A Taskless token is read from TASKLESS\_TOKEN or the project auth file., TASKLESS\_API\_URL or a local config apiUrl can replace the default API destination without allowlist validation., The API client sends the retrieved token as a Bearer authorization header., Remote rule operations obtain that token before submitting requests. - **Evidence against:** The default API URL is taskless.io and the risky forwarding requires an operator-controlled endpoint setting., No install-time hook, hidden payload execution, or destructive behavior was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.3-20260922080130x5047148. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.3-20260922080130x5047148 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.
