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. The flagged entrypoint contains ordinary Taskless authentication and telemetry flows; the apparent payload execution match is example rule text, not runtime execution. No install hook or unconsented agent configuration mutation was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T22:32:17.976Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T22:33:00.371Z - **Download time:** 1038 ms - **Static scan time:** 2595 ms - **AI review time:** 38761 ms - **Total time:** 42395 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. Authentication targets the Taskless service, and agent setup is initiated through an interactive CLI flow. - **Trigger:** The user runs the CLI; authentication and agent setup require their respective commands. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T22:33:00.371Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The login flow exchanges a device code for a Taskless token and saves it locally. Setup offers agent locations and asks for confirmation before writing package-owned files. - **Rationale:** The flagged entrypoint contains ordinary Taskless authentication and telemetry flows; the apparent payload execution match is example rule text, not runtime execution. No install hook or unconsented agent configuration mutation was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli, https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json lists build and development scripts, with no install lifecycle hook; dist/index.js is the runtime entrypoint., dist/index.js defaults authentication to the Taskless CLI service and uses TASKLESS\_API\_URL or saved configuration when set., The login flow requests a device code and polls for a token at that authentication endpoint; it saves the returned token locally after authorization., Agent directories are detected for setup, which runs through an explicit init flow with a location choice and confirmation before writing files., Telemetry is sent to the Taskless service and can be disabled with TASKLESS\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED or DO\_NOT\_TRACK. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012222432x8a86506. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012222432x8a86506 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.
