Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection found no registry install hook, active credential forwarding to an unofficial gateway, or executable hidden payload in the inspected flagged regions. The agent setup behavior is project-local and reached through an interactive CLI path, so the scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T06:24:46.378Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T06:25:12.972Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 2754 ms - **AI review time:** 22818 ms - **Total time:** 26594 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:** No confirmed attack surface was identified. The bundle contains project-local agent setup behavior, but the inspected path is an interactive CLI action rather than an npm install hook. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI setup command interactively in a project. - **Impact:** This can add package-owned skill files to a project after the user invokes setup; the inspected code does not establish credential theft or covert agent control. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T06:25:12.972Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI detects existing agent directories and can write generated skills into project-local reference folders. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no registry install hook, active credential forwarding to an unofficial gateway, or executable hidden payload in the inspected flagged regions. The agent setup behavior is project-local and reached through an interactive CLI path, so the scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; it exposes the CLI through dist/index.js., dist/index.js detects agent project directories, including Claude Code, as targets for its setup behavior., The agent skill writer creates project-local reference files, and the inspected CLI setup path reaches an interactive prompt., The flagged unofficial gateway URL appears in embedded sample text, not as an active credential-forwarding operation., The inspected base64 conversion is ordinary encoding logic; it does not establish hidden payload execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261009003536xa5e60a0. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261009003536xa5e60a0 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.
