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 CLI sends its existing bearer token to an API URL that can be overridden without a destination binding, so conditional credential exposure warrants a warning. The default URL is the Taskless service, and the inspected source does not establish a block-worthy fixed recipient or transfer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T15:30:34.760Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T15:32:15.092Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 3937 ms - **AI review time:** 95363 ms - **Total time:** 100332 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:** Authenticated CLI requests can send a Taskless token to a configured API URL. - **Trigger:** A CLI command makes an authenticated API request while TASKLESS\_API\_URL or config.json apiUrl points to a custom recipient. - **Impact:** The configured recipient can receive the token; the source does not establish that this happens with the default service URL. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T15:32:15.092Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The API client selects the override without binding it to the Taskless service and attaches the existing token as a bearer credential. - **Rationale:** The CLI sends its existing bearer token to an API URL that can be overridden without a destination binding, so conditional credential exposure warrants a warning. The default URL is the Taskless service, and the inspected source does not establish a block-worthy fixed recipient or transfer. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes dist/index.js as its CLI entrypoint., The CLI uses a token from TASKLESS\_TOKEN or saved local authentication., TASKLESS\_API\_URL or apiUrl in config.json can override the default API URL, with no destination binding in the selection code., The API client adds the token as a bearer credential; a saved-token status check uses that client for a request., The default API URL is the Taskless service; the concern depends on a configured override. - **Evidence against:** The inspected code does not show a fixed unrelated recipient or an unconditional token transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.4-20261023150811x3b28ed5. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.4-20261023150811x3b28ed5 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.
