## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.13.5-20261030163658x0b2ed45
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The flagged credential flow is the launcher copying the project's npm configuration for a pinned \`npm ci --ignore-scripts\` install, then removing the temporary copy. Taskless API credentials go to the Taskless API URL, and the disclosed telemetry can be disabled.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-30T22:50:47.460Z

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; reviewed network, credential, and subprocess behavior serves Taskless CLI operations.

- **Trigger:** Normal CLI commands use the Taskless API; the launcher installs a pinned CLI version when first run for a project.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential redirection or other concrete attack behavior was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T22:51:34.271Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI reads Taskless login credentials and sends them to the Taskless API URL, which can be configured by the user. The launcher uses the project's npm configuration for its pinned install and disables dependency install scripts.

- **Rationale:** The flagged credential flow is the launcher copying the project's npm configuration for a pinned \`npm ci --ignore-scripts\` install, then removing the temporary copy. Taskless API credentials go to the Taskless API URL, and the disclosed telemetry can be disabled.

- **Files touched:** .taskless/.env.local.json, .taskless/.cache, temporary .npmrc, ~/.config/taskless/anonymous\_id

- **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli, https://z.taskless.io, user-configured Taskless API URL, project-configured npm registry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest contains no install lifecycle hooks; its scripts are build and development commands., The CLI uses the Taskless API by default, and its bearer token is sent to the configured API URL., The token comes from TASKLESS\_TOKEN or saved Taskless login data; login saves it locally., Telemetry is disclosed and has environment-variable and project-config opt-outs., The launcher copies the project's npm config only for a temporary npm ci install, disables install scripts, and removes the copied config afterward.

- **Evidence against:** The package includes network access, local credential storage, and subprocess execution, but the reviewed paths tie them to Taskless CLI functions and an explicitly invoked launcher.
