@taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102030417xfd42e50
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 source shows default, disclosed telemetry with opt-outs, but it also sends the raw GitHub owner parsed from the repository origin despite describing the telemetry as anonymous. This warrants a telemetry warning; the flagged npm credential path is a temporary, lockfile-pinned install and shows no foreign-host redirect.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the CLI, unless telemetry is disabled through the documented environment variable or project setting.
Impact
Taskless analytics receives the repository owner identity, which can identify a user or organization.
Mechanism
The CLI parses the repository origin for `ghOwner`, adds it to telemetry identity properties, and configures a client for `z.taskless.io`.
AI rationale
The source shows default, disclosed telemetry with opt-outs, but it also sends the raw GitHub owner parsed from the repository origin despite describing the telemetry as anonymous. This warrants a telemetry warning; the flagged npm credential path is a temporary, lockfile-pinned install and shows no foreign-host redirect.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is described as anonymous and has documented opt-outs.
- Telemetry derives `ghOwner` from the repository origin and includes it in the identify properties.
- The telemetry client is configured to send to `z.taskless.io`.
- The launcher installs a recorded version only when its cache is empty; it uses a temporary `.npmrc` for `npm ci` with install scripts disabled, then removes the copied file.
Evidence against
- The telemetry disclosure and opt-outs are present in the CLI.
- The npm credential handling is tied to a lockfile-pinned install and does not show a foreign-host redirect.
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts.
