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 user-invoked agent setup capability that modifies selected project agent directories, which merits a warning under the agent integration policy. The flagged credential endpoint and eval loader are not supported as attack findings by the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T05:54:32.923Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T06:00:36.990Z - **Download time:** 2033 ms - **Static scan time:** 2885 ms - **AI review time:** 359148 ms - **Total time:** 364067 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 add Taskless skills and commands to selected project agent directories. This is an interactive setup capability; the inspected source does not establish a malicious control action. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI in an interactive terminal and reaches its setup flow. - **Impact:** Chosen project agent directories receive Taskless guidance and commands; no broader agent control or data disclosure was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T06:00:36.990Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI prompts for agent targets, then writes bundled skill and command files to the selected targets. - **Rationale:** The source supports a user-invoked agent setup capability that modifies selected project agent directories, which merits a warning under the agent integration policy. The flagged credential endpoint and eval loader are not supported as attack findings by the inspected source. - **Files touched:** .claude, .agents, .cursor, .opencode ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest scripts are build, generation, reference, test, and typecheck tasks; no install lifecycle hook is present., The bundle detects project agent directories such as Claude Code and OpenCode., The setup flow asks which tools to enable and requires a selection., After selection, the CLI writes bundled skills and commands to the selected targets; the flow is reached through interactive CLI startup., The API client uses the Taskless service by default and permits an environment or saved-config override; its token is sent to the selected API base URL., The eval example appears inside an embedded educational rule string, not as an active loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261014054630x9ec03ac. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261014054630x9ec03ac 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.
