## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Bundled child-process and metadata strings belong to transitive Google authentication support, while package actions call Google Forms/Drive APIs with supplied auth.

- **Trigger:** User configures or runs Google Forms actions/triggers in Activepieces.

- **Impact:** Reads configured forms and responses; no unconsented local mutation or unrelated exfiltration established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T19:58:28.475Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Authenticated Google Forms and Drive API requests.

- **Rationale:** Static hints are explained by bundled Google authentication dependencies. Direct package logic is an expected Google Forms connector with no concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** package.json, src/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://forms.googleapis.com/v1, https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files, https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** src/index.js bundles google-auth code containing optional executable and cloud-metadata support.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Entrypoint exports an Activepieces Google Forms integration., Runtime requests target Google OAuth, Drive, and Forms APIs using configured authentication., No package-specific command execution, exfiltration, persistence, or file mutation was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @activepieces/piece-google-forms@0.5.7.

- Avoid installing @activepieces/piece-google-forms@0.5.7. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
