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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T01:35:39.305Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T01:36:47.504Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 3953 ms - **AI review time:** 63735 ms - **Total time:** 68199 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:** Default runtime telemetry sends a GitHub owner derived from the project’s Git origin to Taskless analytics, while describing the telemetry as anonymous. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T01:36:47.504Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Reads the Git origin, extracts its owner, and includes that value in analytics identification properties sent to https://z.taskless.io. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/taskless/anonymous\_id, .taskless/taskless.json, .taskless/.env.local.json - **Network endpoints:** https://z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102012702x9e5d64e. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102012702x9e5d64e 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.
