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 entrypoint uses an explicit environment or saved API URL override for authenticated requests, so a custom untrusted destination can receive the token. The scanner's fixed-gateway and hidden-payload claims are not supported by the inspected source; no install lifecycle hook is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T18:36:56.137Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T18:37:59.055Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 3034 ms - **AI review time:** 58864 ms - **Total time:** 62918 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 send a saved Taskless token to a configurable API destination. This creates conditional credential exposure when that destination is set to an untrusted host. - **Trigger:** A CLI operation makes an authenticated API request while TASKLESS\_API\_URL or the saved API URL points to a custom host. - **Impact:** A custom destination could receive the Taskless token; the source does not establish that the package selects an unrelated fixed recipient. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T18:37:59.055Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The token is loaded from the environment or repository credentials and sent as a bearer authorization header to the configured API base URL. - **Rationale:** The entrypoint uses an explicit environment or saved API URL override for authenticated requests, so a custom untrusted destination can receive the token. The scanner's fixed-gateway and hidden-payload claims are not supported by the inspected source; no install lifecycle hook is present. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI accepts a custom API destination from an environment variable or saved configuration, with the Taskless service as its default., The CLI loads a Taskless token from the environment or repository credentials and attaches it as a bearer token to API requests using that destination., The inspected agent-related code declares project-level agent detection and install directories; it does not establish an agent control-surface attack., The manifest exposes the bundled CLI but shows no install lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** The flagged eval example is bundled demonstration content, not an active payload loader., The inspected base64 decoding helpers serve ordinary token or binary decoding; they do not establish hidden-code execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261016182619x41fd794. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.0-20261016182619x41fd794 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.
