AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default endpoint is package-aligned, but an unrestricted API URL override controls where the CLI sends its saved Taskless bearer token. This is conditional credential exposure, so it warrants a warning rather than a publication block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
An operator sets TASKLESS_API_URL or config.json apiUrl, then runs an authenticated CLI operation.
Impact
The configured recipient can receive the Taskless session token.
Mechanism
The CLI reads the saved access token and sends it as a bearer credential to the selected API base URL.
AI rationale
The default endpoint is package-aligned, but an unrestricted API URL override controls where the CLI sends its saved Taskless bearer token. This is conditional credential exposure, so it warrants a warning rather than a publication block.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI uses the Taskless service by default, but accepts an API URL from the environment or its configuration without restricting the destination.
- It reads a saved access token from the project’s local Taskless authentication file.
- Authenticated API requests put that token in a bearer header for the selected API base URL.
- Normal authenticated CLI operations retrieve the saved token and pass it to API helpers.
Evidence against
- The package’s default API endpoint is app.taskless.io, and login is presented as authentication with taskless.io.
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; the credential risk requires an operator-supplied API URL override.
