Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.13.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent integration is part of an explicit CLI setup path. The inspected decoding and eval matches are benign parsing and rule-description code, respectively. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T23:04:07.078Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T23:04:53.756Z - **Download time:** 1283 ms - **Static scan time:** 2957 ms - **AI review time:** 42437 ms - **Total time:** 46678 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:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. Agent skill setup is invoked through the CLI init command and writes Taskless skill files into project directories. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI init command. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established; the inspected behavior is project-scoped CLI setup. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T23:04:53.756Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command detects project agent directories and installs or updates Taskless skill files there. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent integration is part of an explicit CLI setup path. The inspected decoding and eval matches are benign parsing and rule-description code, respectively. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json lists no install lifecycle hook and points the package entrypoint to dist/index.js., The inspected bundle location identifies project agent directories such as .claude and .opencode., The skill writer places Taskless skill files under a selected project target or the .taskless store., The init command calls the skill setup routine when explicitly run., The atob match decodes Base64 data into bytes; it does not execute reconstructed code., The eval match appears in text describing a rule that detects eval calls. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli@0.13.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli@0.13.0 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.
