@taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021055449x566b238
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms that a saved token can be sent to an unrestricted environment- or config-selected API destination, so a credential exposure warning is appropriate. The default destination is the Taskless service, and no concrete malicious export or install-time attack was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A CLI command uses a saved token while TASKLESS_API_URL or the user API URL config points to a custom destination.
Impact
The custom endpoint can receive the Taskless token, creating conditional credential exposure.
Mechanism
The API client resolves its base URL from environment or config and attaches the token to authenticated requests without a destination allowlist.
AI rationale
The source confirms that a saved token can be sent to an unrestricted environment- or config-selected API destination, so a credential exposure warning is appropriate. The default destination is the Taskless service, and no concrete malicious export or install-time attack was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest routes the CLI and root module to dist/index.js and shows no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The CLI accepts TASKLESS_TOKEN or loads an access token from the project’s .taskless config.
- The API base URL can come from TASKLESS_API_URL or user config; the fallback is app.taskless.io.
- The authenticated client attaches the token as a bearer credential to requests using that resolved base URL.
- Saved-token login checks the account through that client, and the auth status command also uses it.
Evidence against
- The default API destination is the Taskless service, and the inspected source does not establish a publisher-selected unrelated recipient.
- The credential-routing concern depends on a user-provided environment or config override; the source does not show automatic install-time disclosure.
