Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source review found no lifecycle hook or fixed unrelated credential recipient; the default authenticated API is the Taskless service. Runtime code execution is gated by server reconciliation in the ordinary path, with an explicit option required to run rules unverified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T08:35:16.887Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T08:37:40.815Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 3836 ms - **AI review time:** 139572 ms - **Total time:** 143928 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 identified in the inspected source. The flagged network and execution behavior supports CLI authentication, telemetry, and project analysis. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI; runtime rules normally run after server reconciliation, while unverified execution requires an explicit dangerous-run option. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T08:37:40.815Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends bearer tokens to its configured API base, which defaults to the Taskless service. It also invokes git and ast-grep for repository analysis and supports verified runtime rule checks. - **Rationale:** Source review found no lifecycle hook or fixed unrelated credential recipient; the default authenticated API is the Taskless service. Runtime code execution is gated by server reconciliation in the ordinary path, with an explicit option required to run rules unverified. - **Network endpoints:** app.taskless.io, z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json points the CLI entrypoint to dist/index.js; its inspected scripts contain no npm install lifecycle hook., The API defaults to app.taskless.io, and bearer requests use that same configured API base. Login stores the returned token locally after success., Runtime check code is dynamically loaded, but ordinary execution follows server reconciliation; running all rules unverified requires the explicit --dangerously-run-scripts option., The inspected subprocesses invoke git for repository metadata and ast-grep for project scans., The required dependency excerpts identify tsx as a TypeScript loader and the optional ast-grep packages as platform-specific native tools., Telemetry goes to the Taskless analytics host and can be disabled through the documented environment or project setting. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.4-20261022195044x0c3b4d8. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.4-20261022195044x0c3b4d8 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.
