AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource establishes explicit user-command mutation of agent instruction files, which the supplied policy classifies as warning-only. Scanner allegations do not establish malicious behavior, and no npm install hook activates this integration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running taskless init or completing interactive CLI setup.
Impact
Changes instructions available to local AI agents. Repeated init calls reconcile integration files without another confirmation; inspected code does not establish background automatic updates.
Mechanism
Detects agent directories, writes Taskless integration files, removes obsolete recorded integration files, and records installation targets.
AI rationale
Source establishes explicit user-command mutation of agent instruction files, which the supplied policy classifies as warning-only. Scanner allegations do not establish malicious behavior, and no npm install hook activates this integration.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.claude.agents.cursor.opencode
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as an import entrypoint and CLI, without npm install lifecycle hooks.
- The bundle detects agent directories and selects destinations for Taskless integration.
- The integration writes SKILL.md files and command stubs into selected agent directories.
- The explicit init command runs installation without an additional confirmation prompt.
- The interactive setup asks which tools should receive Taskless integration.
- Installation records target directories and CLI version for later reconciliation.
Evidence against
- No concrete hidden payload loader or fixed unofficial credential gateway was established; inspected eval matches are embedded rule examples.
- Agent integration occurs through CLI setup, rather than an npm install hook.
