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. Source inspection found no install-time attack behavior. The scanner's eval signal comes from a shipped example rule, while agent setup is an explicit CLI workflow that writes bundled files to selected local directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T00:55:50.628Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T00:57:32.101Z - **Download time:** 2053 ms - **Static scan time:** 2969 ms - **AI review time:** 96451 ms - **Total time:** 101473 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. The executable uses the Taskless API by default and provides an explicit command to set up local agent skills. - **Trigger:** A user runs an authentication command or invokes taskless init. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established; the inspected source does not support the flagged fixed-gateway credential redirection or active payload-loader claims. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T00:57:32.101Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authentication uses the configured API base URL, which defaults to the Taskless service. The init flow selects local agent directories and installs bundled skills or commands there. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install-time attack behavior. The scanner's eval signal comes from a shipped example rule, while agent setup is an explicit CLI workflow that writes bundled files to selected local directories. - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its module entry points to dist/index.js., The API client uses a configurable base URL with the Taskless service as its default, and authentication requests use that same base., The eval example is embedded in a demonstration rule, not an executable payload loader., Agent setup is exposed through the init command, asks which tools to enable, previews changes, and writes bundled skills or commands to selected local directories. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261015004851x9a220c0. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261015004851x9a220c0 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.
