@taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012183116x7f66001
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source supports a warning for first-party agent setup initiated through the CLI. The credential and payload scanner hints do not establish an attack: the inspected `eval` match is an example rule, and authentication uses a device-code flow.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI's `init` command or interactive setup.
Impact
An agent may load the installed Taskless instructions or commands; no concrete harmful behavior was established.
Mechanism
The installer places embedded Taskless content in selected agent directories and checks existing files before replacing them.
AI rationale
The source supports a warning for first-party agent setup initiated through the CLI. The credential and payload scanner hints do not establish an attack: the inspected `eval` match is an example rule, and authentication uses a device-code flow.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.claude.opencode.cursor.agents
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json exposes a CLI bundle and build-related scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The bundle embeds Taskless skill and command files and maps detected agent tools to project directories.
- The explicit `init` command installs or updates Taskless skills and runs the installer.
- The setup wizard asks which tools to enable and presents changes before applying them.
- The installer checks existing files before writing Taskless content, limiting replacement to recognized Taskless-managed files.
- The `eval` match is inside a shipped example rule; authentication polls a device code through the configured Taskless API base.
