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 an environment or configuration override can direct authenticated requests carrying saved Taskless tokens to an unrestricted host. The normal default is the Taskless service, so this warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure, not a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T19:08:23.603Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T19:09:24.397Z - **Download time:** 1285 ms - **Static scan time:** 3731 ms - **AI review time:** 55777 ms - **Total time:** 60794 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:** When the API host is overridden, authenticated CLI requests send the Taskless token to that configured host. The host selection is not restricted to Taskless domains. - **Trigger:** Using an authenticated CLI command while TASKLESS\_API\_URL or the local Taskless config selects a custom API host. - **Impact:** A custom host can receive the saved Taskless credential; the source does not establish that this host is malicious or that the override is covert. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T19:09:24.397Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI loads an environment or saved token, then attaches it as a bearer credential to requests directed to the selected API host. - **Rationale:** The source confirms that an environment or configuration override can direct authenticated requests carrying saved Taskless tokens to an unrestricted host. The normal default is the Taskless service, so this warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure, not a publish block. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, .taskless/config.json, .taskless/.env.local.json - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Saved Taskless tokens can be read and sent as bearer credentials to the API host selected by environment or local configuration., The normal login flow stores a token returned by that same configurable API host., The package exposes the reviewed bundle as its CLI and module entrypoint. - **Evidence against:** Without an override, the API host defaults to app.taskless.io, consistent with the package’s stated service., The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; the observed transfer is in runtime authentication paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021190126x85025cb. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021190126x85025cb 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.
