Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T02:38:45.722Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T02:39:55.634Z - **Download time:** 584 ms - **Static scan time:** 4052 ms - **AI review time:** 65275 ms - **Total time:** 69912 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:** No attack identified; the CLI uses Taskless authentication and disclosed anonymous telemetry for its stated purpose. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T02:39:55.634Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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\`. - **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. - **Files touched:** .taskless/.env.local.json, .taskless/.cache/, temporary install directory \`.npmrc\` - **Network endpoints:** app.taskless.io, z.taskless.io, us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102023143x66f6a99. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102023143x66f6a99 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.
