AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe runtime telemetry notice says collection is anonymous, but the payload includes a GitHub owner parsed from the repository origin. This is an undisclosed identifying telemetry field, so the package warrants a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
CLI startup or a command that initializes telemetry, unless telemetry is disabled by environment or project config.
Impact
The vendor receives repository-identifying information that the telemetry notice does not describe.
Mechanism
The CLI parses the GitHub owner from the git origin and adds it to telemetry properties sent to Taskless's analytics endpoint.
AI rationale
The runtime telemetry notice says collection is anonymous, but the payload includes a GitHub owner parsed from the repository origin. This is an undisclosed identifying telemetry field, so the package warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI describes telemetry as anonymous and provides environment and project-config opt-outs.
- Telemetry is sent to https://z.taskless.io and includes the GitHub owner and other workspace or repository properties.
- The GitHub owner is extracted from the repository's git origin URL.
- The Taskless API bearer token uses the configured Taskless API URL, defaulting to https://app.taskless.io/cli.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no lifecycle hooks; the inspected telemetry is runtime behavior.
- The API URL can be set by the user through TASKLESS_API_URL or Taskless config.
