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. Source inspection confirmed user-invoked agent setup that writes package-owned references into project agent directories, so a warning is appropriate. The credential and dynamic-import scanner signals are explained by the Taskless device-code flow and a rule-check harness. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T02:06:18.774Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T02:08:10.429Z - **Download time:** 1293 ms - **Static scan time:** 2835 ms - **AI review time:** 107526 ms - **Total time:** 111655 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:** Explicit \`taskless init\` writes Taskless skill and command references into detected project agent directories and records the installation under \`.taskless\`. This is a user-invoked setup capability; source inspection did not establish an attack. - **Trigger:** A user invokes \`taskless init\`. - **Impact:** Adds Taskless guidance and commands to project agent integrations; no credential theft or unconsented install-time control-surface change was established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T02:08:10.429Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI detects supported agent directories and writes package-generated references to their skill and command locations. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirmed user-invoked agent setup that writes package-owned references into project agent directories, so a warning is appropriate. The credential and dynamic-import scanner signals are explained by the Taskless device-code flow and a rule-check harness. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .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 exposes the CLI entrypoint and lists build scripts, including prebuild, but no npm install hook., The explicit \`init\` command is described as installing or updating Taskless skills, and its runner invokes the installer., The installer detects project agent directories and maps them to reference targets such as \`.claude\`, \`.agents\`, \`.cursor\`, and \`.opencode\`., On that command path, package-generated skill and command references are written to the selected targets and the install state is recorded under \`.taskless\`., Login polls the configured Taskless API base with a device code; its default is the Taskless CLI service, not a fixed unrelated gateway., The flagged dynamic import is in a rule-check harness that imports a supplied \`checkFile\` and calls its exported check function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261014152447x60763fb. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261014152447x60763fb 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.
