AI Security Review

scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source supports a warning for explicit user-command agent configuration under the supplied policy. The inspected behavior does not support blocking for hidden payload execution, credential theft, or unconsented npm install-time agent mutation.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running taskless init or completing the interactive setup wizard.

Impact

Changes instructions available to project agents. The wizard requests tool selection; later init invocations refresh integrations without another prompt, rather than enabling a background updater.

Mechanism

Detects supported agents, writes bundled integration files, saves installation state, and removes previously recorded files during updates.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/index.js.taskless.claude.agents.cursor.opencode

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json exposes dist/index.js as the taskless CLI.
The init command detects agent directories and installs or updates bundled Taskless integrations without a per-run prompt.
The installer writes SKILL.md stubs into agent skill directories.
The interactive wizard asks which tools to enable.
Updates remove skills and commands recorded in the previous installation state.
Agent detection includes .claude, .opencode, .cursor, and .codex.

Evidence against

No npm install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency appear in package.json.
Inspected encoding routines handle YAML binary values; eval examples are embedded rule fixtures.
Authentication defaults to app.taskless.io; inspection did not establish the claimed fixed unofficial credential gateway.

Previous Version Dangerous Delta
