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 static hints do not match executable attack behavior: the eval example is demonstration text, and authentication uses the configured Taskless device-code flow. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the agent setup path is an explicit CLI command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T01:41:44.325Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T01:43:11.931Z - **Download time:** 1027 ms - **Static scan time:** 2951 ms - **AI review time:** 83627 ms - **Total time:** 87606 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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged code corresponds to a demonstration rule, ordinary Taskless authentication, and explicit project setup. - **Trigger:** No malicious install-time or import-time trigger was identified; project setup runs when the user invokes init. - **Impact:** No concrete unauthorized credential disclosure, hidden payload execution, or automatic agent configuration change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T01:43:11.931Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected authentication flow uses a configurable Taskless API base for device-code login, and the agent integration excerpt maps project skill directories. - **Rationale:** The static hints do not match executable attack behavior: the eval example is demonstration text, and authentication uses the configured Taskless device-code flow. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the agent setup path is an explicit CLI command. - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest’s scripts are build, generation, testing, and typechecking tasks; its runtime entrypoint is dist/index.js, with no install lifecycle hook., Authentication uses the configured Taskless API base for device authorization and token polling, and stores the returned token under the repository’s .taskless directory., The flagged eval(payload) text appears inside a bundled demonstration rule that teaches how to detect eval calls; it is not an executed payload loader., The agent integration excerpt maps supported project skill directories; setup is performed through the CLI’s explicit init command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261016013447x784899c. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261016013447x784899c 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.
