Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected authentication routes device-code requests through the Taskless API base, and the launcher removes its temporary npm configuration after using it with scripts disabled. Optional platform-specific binary dependencies remain unverified, so manual review is warranted without treating the unresolved source as proof of an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T20:25:12.316Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T20:26:11.112Z - **Download time:** 1276 ms - **Static scan time:** 3748 ms - **AI review time:** 53771 ms - **Total time:** 58796 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 reviewed package source. Several optional platform binaries remain unverified, so the package cannot be cleared from this snapshot alone. - **Trigger:** A platform-specific optional dependency is selected during installation or runtime. - **Impact:** Their behavior could not be assessed; no attack behavior is confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T20:26:11.112Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The manifest declares optional platform binaries whose source was not available for inspection. - **Rationale:** Inspected authentication routes device-code requests through the Taskless API base, and the launcher removes its temporary npm configuration after using it with scripts disabled. Optional platform-specific binary dependencies remain unverified, so manual review is warranted without treating the unresolved source as proof of an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes the CLI entrypoint and declares platform-specific optional binaries., Inspected authentication code sends device-code requests through the Taskless API base; it defaults to app.taskless.io and can be changed through local configuration or an environment variable., The inspected tsx dependency manifest and loader identify a TypeScript execution loader., Some optional platform-specific executable dependencies could not be source-verified in the supplied snapshot. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed excerpts show no fixed unrelated credential recipient or confirmed attack behavior., The launcher temporarily copies npm configuration for its package install, removes it afterward, and runs npm with lifecycle scripts disabled. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli@0.13.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli@0.13.3 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.
