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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T06:14:37.547Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:17:11.577Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 3657 ms - **AI review time:** 149354 ms - **Total time:** 154030 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:** A saved Taskless token is sent as bearer authentication to the resolved API base URL. A custom URL can therefore receive the token, but the inspected source does not establish a publisher-selected unrelated destination. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:17:11.577Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The API client resolves its base URL from environment or config and attaches the token to authenticated requests without a destination allowlist. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** app.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021055449x566b238. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021055449x566b238 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.
