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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T03:37:07.106Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T03:38:21.807Z - **Download time:** 1268 ms - **Static scan time:** 3715 ms - **AI review time:** 69717 ms - **Total time:** 74701 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:** A configured API base URL can receive an existing Taskless token in an authenticated request. No destination restriction is shown for that override. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T03:38:21.807Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.taskless.io/cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli@0.13.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli@0.13.2 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.
