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 registry install hook or concrete attack behavior. The suspicious loader and credential-redirection signals resolve to a demo rule and a configurable Taskless API device-auth flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T18:03:41.806Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T18:05:48.334Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 2869 ms - **AI review time:** 123138 ms - **Total time:** 126528 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. The flagged agent path belongs to user-invoked setup, and the apparent eval payload is demo-rule text. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; agent setup is available through the explicit init command. - **Impact:** No unrelated credential transfer, hidden code execution, or unconsented install-time change was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T18:05:48.334Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No confirmed attack surface was established: setup detects local agent directories and writes selected Taskless skill metadata, while the eval example is inert text. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no registry install hook or concrete attack behavior. The suspicious loader and credential-redirection signals resolve to a demo rule and a configurable Taskless API device-auth flow. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI bundle and lists build scripts, with no registry install lifecycle hook., The indicated .claude path is used for local agent detection; the user-invoked init command offers tool selection and writes Taskless skill metadata to selected locations., Authentication defaults to the Taskless service; changing the API destination requires an environment or configuration setting, and login uses a device-code flow., The eval example is embedded in a demo rule that teaches detection; it is not an executed payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261015175549xf240f6f. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261015175549xf240f6f 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.
