AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source exposes an explicit user-command capability to modify project-local AI-agent instructions, which the supplied policy classifies as warning-worthy. No npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior supports publication blocking.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running taskless init or completing interactive CLI setup.
Impact
Changes instructions available to AI agents in the selected project; subsequent setup can refresh those instructions without another prompt.
Mechanism
Detects agent directories, writes package-owned skills and command stubs, saves installation state, and removes obsolete recorded entries on subsequent setup.
AI rationale
The inspected source exposes an explicit user-command capability to modify project-local AI-agent instructions, which the supplied policy classifies as warning-worthy. No npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior supports publication blocking.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.claude.agents.cursor.opencode
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit init command invokes setup without a confirmation prompt.
- Setup detects project-local agent directories, including .claude, and writes Taskless skill stubs.
- Repeated setup updates recorded installation state and removes previously recorded obsolete skills.
- Interactive setup lets users select agent targets; this does not authorize npm lifecycle mutation.
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency.
Evidence against
- The inspected agent setup is activated through CLI commands, rather than npm installation.
- The writes install package-owned Taskless skills and commands; no covert credential export or remote payload execution was established.
