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 establishes explicit user-command agent configuration mutation, which warrants a capability warning under the supplied policy. The scanner's malicious labels were not substantiated by the inspected source, and no install-time hijack or hidden credential export was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-06T11:20:42.968Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-06T11:21:46.652Z - **Download time:** 1537 ms - **Static scan time:** 2688 ms - **AI review time:** 59458 ms - **Total time:** 63684 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 and updates Taskless skills and commands in project agent directories. This is a concrete agent configuration capability, but no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Running taskless init, or selecting agent tools in interactive CLI setup. - **Impact:** Agent sessions can receive changed Taskless instructions after reloading. Later init invocations can update installed integrations without another prompt; no background update mechanism was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T11:21:46.652Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer selects agent destinations, writes skill and command stubs, removes previously recorded obsolete integrations, and saves installation state. - **Rationale:** Source establishes explicit user-command agent configuration mutation, which warrants a capability warning under the supplied policy. The scanner's malicious labels were not substantiated by the inspected source, and no install-time hijack or hidden credential export was established. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .claude, .agents, .cursor, .opencode, SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and module entrypoint; it has no npm install lifecycle hooks., The bundle detects agent directories, including .cursor, and selects them as installation destinations., The skill installer writes SKILL.md stubs into selected agent directories., The explicit init command invokes the installer without an additional interactive prompt., The installer updates skills and commands and saves installation state; subsequent init invocations can rewrite these integrations. - **Evidence against:** The interactive setup wizard asks which tools to enable., Inspected authentication defaults to https://app.taskless.io/cli; no fixed unofficial credential gateway was established., The inspected eval matches are rule examples, not executable payload loading. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20261006075423xca69f92. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20261006075423xca69f92 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.
