Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged CLI credential flow uses the Taskless service by default, with the API URL supplied by operator configuration, and no concrete credential attack was established. The optional ast-grep executable is invoked but its source was unavailable, leaving a selected runtime dependency unresolved; manual review is warranted. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T06:15:12.635Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:18:18.210Z - **Download time:** 1293 ms - **Static scan time:** 3857 ms - **AI review time:** 180424 ms - **Total time:** 185575 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 confirmed in the inspected CLI source. The optional ast-grep CLI dependency is used for subprocess scans, but its source was unavailable for review. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a CLI feature that runs an ast-grep scan. - **Impact:** The behavior and effects of that optional executable remain unresolved, so a clean determination is not supported. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:18:18.210Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI launches the ast-grep executable with scan arguments; the dependency implementation could not be inspected. - **Rationale:** The flagged CLI credential flow uses the Taskless service by default, with the API URL supplied by operator configuration, and no concrete credential attack was established. The optional ast-grep executable is invoked but its source was unavailable, leaving a selected runtime dependency unresolved; manual review is warranted. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The CLI uses the Taskless service by default and permits an operator-supplied API URL., The CLI exposes an explicit Taskless login command; inspected code sends its bearer token through the configured API client., The manifest includes optional platform-specific ast-grep CLI dependencies, and the CLI invokes an ast-grep scan subprocess., The prepared tsx dependency manifest and loader identify a TypeScript runtime package and its loader entrypoint., The ast-grep CLI dependency source was unavailable in the inspected snapshot, so its behavior could not be verified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021060539xd5112cb. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021060539xd5112cb 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.
