AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install hook or confirmed credential redirection, but its default runtime analytics include a GitHub owner derived from the project’s Git origin despite describing the telemetry as anonymous. This merits a warning under the telemetry rule.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Telemetry initialization during CLI use, unless disabled by an environment variable or project setting.
Impact
Taskless analytics can associate CLI usage with the project’s GitHub owner, which may identify a user or organization.
Mechanism
Reads the Git origin, extracts its owner, and includes that value in analytics identification properties sent to https://z.taskless.io.
AI rationale
The package has no install hook or confirmed credential redirection, but its default runtime analytics include a GitHub owner derived from the project’s Git origin despite describing the telemetry as anonymous. This merits a warning under the telemetry rule.
Evidence
dist/index.js~/.config/taskless/anonymous_id.taskless/taskless.json.taskless/.env.local.json
Network endpoints1
z.taskless.io
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Default runtime telemetry derives the GitHub owner from the Git origin and includes it in analytics identification properties.
- The analytics client sends to https://z.taskless.io.
- Telemetry is disclosed and has environment-variable and project-config opt-outs, but the disclosure describes it as anonymous despite collecting the GitHub owner.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script.
- The CLI’s saved or environment-provided Taskless token is used for Taskless authentication and API calls; no forwarding of it to the analytics endpoint was identified.
- Telemetry can be disabled with TASKLESS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1, DO_NOT_TRACK=1, or telemetry:false in .taskless/taskless.json.
