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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T03:14:21.353Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T03:15:30.819Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 3953 ms - **AI review time:** 65007 ms - **Total time:** 69466 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 includes a GitHub owner from the repository origin despite being described as anonymous. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T03:15:30.819Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI parses the repository origin for \`ghOwner\`, adds it to telemetry identity properties, and configures a client for \`z.taskless.io\`. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** z.taskless.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102030417xfd42e50. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102030417xfd42e50 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.
