@uipath/agent-tool@1.202.0
cli plugin for creating and managing UiPath low-code agents
AI Security Review
scanned 28d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThere are no npm lifecycle hooks, and the entrypoints only start a UiPath agent CLI after the user invokes it. Process spawning and cloud authentication are package-aligned CLI behavior, not a hidden install attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the agent-tool binary or imports the CLI module and parses process.argv.
Impact
No unconsented control-surface write, credential theft, or remote payload execution was established.
Mechanism
Command handlers register agent project operations and optional UiPath authentication against the configured https base URL.
AI rationale
There are no npm lifecycle hooks, and the entrypoints only start a UiPath agent CLI after the user invokes it. Process spawning and cloud authentication are package-aligned CLI behavior, not a hidden install attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json version 1.202.0 has no install lifecycle scripts; main, exports, and bin point at dist CLI modules that run only when the user invokes the agent-tool command.
- Bundled command registration describes a UiPath low-code agent CLI with prefix agent; auth defaults to https://cloud.uipath.com and a local .uipath profile.
- child_process imports in dist/index-h8cph72k.js come from the bundled open/wsl helper libraries, not an install-time payload.
Evidence against
- Compiled bundles include child_process, new Function in schema validation, and UiPath session environment variables used when the CLI authenticates to the configured cloud host.
