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. Source shows explicit user-command mutation of agent skill and command directories, which warrants a capability warning under the supplied policy. No automatic npm install mutation or concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T05:27:24.315Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T05:29:14.032Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 2532 ms - **AI review time:** 106669 ms - **Total time:** 109717 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:** Explicit CLI setup installs or refreshes Taskless skills and command stubs in project agent directories. This is a concrete agent configuration capability, but no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Run taskless init, or select integration targets in the interactive setup wizard. - **Impact:** Changes the Taskless instructions available to agents; subsequent init invocations can refresh them without another prompt. No npm installation trigger was found. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T05:29:14.032Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detect agent directories, write bundled Taskless content and reference stubs, remove obsolete tracked integrations, and save installation state. - **Rationale:** Source shows explicit user-command mutation of agent skill and command directories, which warrants a capability warning under the supplied policy. No automatic npm install mutation or concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .claude, .agents, .cursor, .opencode ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json registers dist/index.js as the taskless CLI and has no npm install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., dist/index.js writes Taskless skill stubs into detected agent directories., The explicit init command invokes installation without an additional prompt and refreshes installed content to the current CLI version., The interactive setup wizard asks which tools should receive Taskless integration. - **Evidence against:** The inspected behavior is package-aligned and activated through CLI setup; no covert installation, credential theft, or malicious payload was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20260930052150xe1f084a. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20260930052150xe1f084a 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.
