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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T22:48:07.732Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T22:49:19.560Z - **Download time:** 1032 ms - **Static scan time:** 2718 ms - **AI review time:** 68077 ms - **Total time:** 71828 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:** The CLI can install Taskless-owned skills and commands into supported project agent directories. This is an agent configuration capability, but the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T22:49:19.560Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer places embedded Taskless content in selected agent directories and checks existing files before replacing them. - **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. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .claude, .opencode, .cursor, .agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012183116x7f66001. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012183116x7f66001 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.
