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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T16:46:17.831Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T16:47:41.750Z - **Download time:** 1284 ms - **Static scan time:** 3820 ms - **AI review time:** 78814 ms - **Total time:** 83919 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 configured API URL can receive the project’s saved Taskless access token when an authenticated CLI operation runs. The source does not restrict that URL to Taskless hosts. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T16:47:41.750Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI reads the saved access token and sends it as a bearer credential to the selected API base URL. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021163833x46ca90e. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021163833x46ca90e 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.
