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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T02:35:31.420Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T02:36:31.160Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 3927 ms - **AI review time:** 55303 ms - **Total time:** 59740 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:** Opt-out runtime telemetry includes repository-owner information despite being described as anonymous. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T02:36:31.160Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI parses the GitHub owner from the git origin and adds it to telemetry properties sent to Taskless's analytics endpoint. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, .taskless/taskless.json - **Network endpoints:** https://z.taskless.io, https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102022750xa9b714f. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102022750xa9b714f 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.
