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 CLI sends runtime telemetry to its own analytics host and offers opt-outs, but it includes the raw GitHub owner from the repository URL while describing the telemetry as anonymous. This is a privacy risk, not evidence of credential theft or a malicious install hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T19:33:49.291Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T19:35:22.199Z - **Download time:** 1273 ms - **Static scan time:** 4082 ms - **AI review time:** 87552 ms - **Total time:** 92908 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 CLI usage sends telemetry containing a potentially identifying GitHub repository owner; no malicious attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A CLI invocation that reaches normal completion; telemetry can be disabled with \`TASKLESS\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=1\` or \`telemetry: false\` in \`.taskless/taskless.json\`. - **Impact:** Taskless analytics can associate CLI usage with a GitHub repository owner, despite the telemetry being described as anonymous. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T19:35:22.199Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Telemetry is sent to \`https://z.taskless.io\` and includes \`ghOwner\` parsed from the repository URL, alongside workspace and repository identifiers. - **Rationale:** The CLI sends runtime telemetry to its own analytics host and offers opt-outs, but it includes the raw GitHub owner from the repository URL while describing the telemetry as anonymous. This is a privacy risk, not evidence of credential theft or a malicious install hook. - **Files touched:** .taskless/anonymous\_id, .taskless/taskless.json - **Network endpoints:** https://z.taskless.io, https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** On normal CLI completion, the code initializes telemetry and emits a \`cli\_run\` event., Telemetry is sent to \`https://z.taskless.io\` with a raw \`ghOwner\` field and workspace and repository identifiers., The \`ghOwner\` value is taken from the repository URL, so it can identify the GitHub owner despite the telemetry being described as anonymous., The package discloses telemetry and provides opt-outs, but the raw repository owner is an identifying detail. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest has no install lifecycle hooks., The launcher copies \`.npmrc\` only into a temporary install directory, uses \`npm ci --ignore-scripts\`, and removes the copied file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261103192215x06c2e6b. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.5-20261103192215x06c2e6b 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.
