@taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261102164414x312732c
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 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged flows match the CLI’s purpose: login uses a device authorization flow with the Taskless service, while the launcher passes the project’s npm configuration to a temporary npm install. The manifest declares no lifecycle hooks, and the inspected code does not show credentials being sent to an unrelated host.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Authentication runs when the user invokes login; launcher installation runs when the user invokes the relevant CLI workflow.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports the CLI’s login and launcher functions; no unrelated credential collection or covert execution was identified.
Mechanism
Device authorization sends a device code to the configured Taskless service. The launcher temporarily supplies the project’s npm configuration to npm.
AI rationale
The flagged flows match the CLI’s purpose: login uses a device authorization flow with the Taskless service, while the launcher passes the project’s npm configuration to a temporary npm install. The manifest declares no lifecycle hooks, and the inspected code does not show credentials being sent to an unrelated host.
Evidence
.taskless/config.json.taskless/.auth-pending.jsonlauncher cache and temporary install files

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are build and development commands.
- The CLI defaults to the Taskless service URL, with an explicit environment or config override.
- Authentication uses a device authorization flow; token polling sends the device code to the configured Taskless service.
- The login flow starts after checking for an existing login and presenting the user with a browser authorization URL and code.
- The launcher copies project npm configuration into a temporary install directory so npm can use the configured registry and credentials.
Evidence against
- The scanner’s credential redirection lead is consistent with user-authorized Taskless login and the package’s temporary npm install flow; the inspected code does not show credentials sent to an unrelated collector.
