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’s disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry includes the GitHub owner parsed from the project’s origin, which is identifying repository metadata. This is suspicious telemetry under the review rules; the source does not establish credential exfiltration or another malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T02:47:56.216Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T02:49:26.334Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 3845 ms - **AI review time:** 85765 ms - **Total time:** 90118 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 identifying GitHub repository-owner metadata to Taskless’s analytics endpoint. - **Trigger:** CLI command startup and completion, unless telemetry is disabled. - **Impact:** Telemetry can associate CLI usage with a GitHub account or repository owner. The package discloses telemetry and provides opt-outs, but the identifying detail makes this a warning under the review rules. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T02:49:26.334Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI reads the GitHub origin, derives ghOwner, and includes it in PostHog identification and event properties sent to https://z.taskless.io. - **Rationale:** The package’s disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry includes the GitHub owner parsed from the project’s origin, which is identifying repository metadata. This is suspicious telemetry under the review rules; the source does not establish credential exfiltration or another malicious attack. - **Files touched:** .taskless/taskless.json, ~/.taskless/anonymous\_id - **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:** Runtime telemetry is sent to Taskless’s PostHog endpoint at https://z.taskless.io., The telemetry derives ghOwner from the GitHub origin URL and includes it in user identification., Telemetry is disclosed and has environment-variable and configuration-file opt-outs. - **Evidence against:** package.json declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle scripts., The telemetry code uses an anonymous ID when no Taskless account ID is available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102023841xbdd995e. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102023841xbdd995e 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.
