## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.11.3-20260922210709xe22b4b3
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 API override forwards an existing saved credential to the selected destination. The risk is conditional and no install hook or covert automatic trigger was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 override can receive a saved Taskless bearer token. This requires an authenticated CLI action and an operator-controlled endpoint override; no automatic attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** An authenticated CLI command uses a saved token while TASKLESS\_API\_URL or config.apiUrl points to another endpoint.

- **Impact:** A user or environment that configures an untrusted API endpoint can expose the saved token to that endpoint.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T22:27:23.717Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI loads .taskless/.env.local.json, accepts an unvalidated API base URL, and attaches the token as a Bearer Authorization header.

- **Rationale:** The unrestricted API override forwards an existing saved credential to the selected destination. The risk is conditional and no install hook or covert automatic trigger was found.

- **Files touched:** .taskless/.env.local.json, config.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entrypoint and has no install lifecycle script., The CLI reads an existing repository token from .taskless/.env.local.json., The API base URL can be replaced by TASKLESS\_API\_URL or config.apiUrl without host validation., The selected base URL receives the saved token in an Authorization header and is used for API requests.

- **Evidence against:** No automatic install-time execution was found., The default API URL is taskless.io and the risky destination override is conditional.

- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.3-20260922210709xe22b4b3/dist/index.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):
