AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default endpoint and explicit device login are consistent with the CLI’s service, but the unrestricted configurable base URL also receives existing session credentials. This supports a warning for conditional credential exposure, not a finding of malicious default exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A CLI operation that makes an authenticated API request while TASKLESS_API_URL or a saved apiUrl is configured.
Impact
A misconfigured or untrusted endpoint could receive the Taskless token; source does not establish that the default endpoint is unrelated or malicious.
Mechanism
The CLI loads a token from TASKLESS_TOKEN or the saved login, then attaches it as a bearer token to requests using the selected API base URL.
AI rationale
The default endpoint and explicit device login are consistent with the CLI’s service, but the unrestricted configurable base URL also receives existing session credentials. This supports a warning for conditional credential exposure, not a finding of malicious default exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Saved or environment-provided Taskless tokens are used for authenticated API requests.
- The API base URL can come from TASKLESS_API_URL or a saved apiUrl, with no destination allowlist shown.
- The bearer token is sent to the selected API base URL for authenticated requests.
- The default API endpoint is the Taskless service, and login uses an explicit device authorization flow.
Evidence against
- The package manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; its bin and module point to the CLI entrypoint.
- The default authentication endpoint is https://app.taskless.io/cli.
