@taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102023143x66f6a99
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential flow targets the configured Taskless API, defaulting to `app.taskless.io`, while login requires an explicit browser authorization step. The launcher uses project npm credentials only for its version-pinned temporary install, and the disclosed telemetry has opt-outs.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI; browser authorization occurs when the user runs `auth login`.
Impact
Expected CLI API access, project-local authentication storage, and disclosed telemetry; no malicious impact found.
Mechanism
The CLI sends its Taskless bearer token to the configured Taskless API. On first launcher use, it may install the recorded CLI version using the project's npm settings, then removes the temporary `.npmrc`.
AI rationale
The flagged credential flow targets the configured Taskless API, defaulting to `app.taskless.io`, while login requires an explicit browser authorization step. The launcher uses project npm credentials only for its version-pinned temporary install, and the disclosed telemetry has opt-outs.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook and declares the CLI entry point and package exports.
- Login uses a browser device-code flow and saves the resulting token in project-local `.taskless/.env.local.json`.
- Authenticated requests use the Taskless API URL, which defaults to `https://app.taskless.io/cli` and can be set by the user through `TASKLESS_API_URL` or `config.json`.
- The project launcher temporarily copies the project `.npmrc` into its install directory and removes it after `npm ci`.
- Telemetry is described as anonymous and includes opt-outs via `TASKLESS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1` or `telemetry: false`.
Evidence against
- The flagged launcher install is tied to a recorded package version and uses `npm ci --ignore-scripts`.
- No source evidence shows credentials being sent to an unrelated collector or Taskless credentials being redirected to a fixed foreign host.
