Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspection shows a UiPath local workflow CLI with no install hooks, no agent-surface writes, and process or network use limited to packaging and the configured UiPath service. Those behaviors match the stated product and do not form a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T19:14:55.790Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T19:15:49.108Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 9649 ms - **AI review time:** 42903 ms - **Total time:** 53318 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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. The package is a user-invoked UiPath CLI that talks to the caller-configured UiPath host, defaulting to cloud.uipath.com, and uses local process checks for packaging. - **Trigger:** User runs the CLI after install; package.json defines no lifecycle scripts. - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation, exfiltration, or remote code execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T19:15:49.108Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Command registration loads bundled packager and auth code that call local tools and the configured UiPath API. - **Rationale:** Inspection shows a UiPath local workflow CLI with no install hooks, no agent-surface writes, and process or network use limited to packaging and the configured UiPath service. Those behaviors match the stated product and do not form a concrete attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.uipath.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no scripts, bin, or dependencies; main and exports point at the local workflow CLI under dist., dist/node-ahdpcmnm.js runs a fixed execSync of dotnet --version only to detect the local SDK., dist/packager-tool-bbc3332a.js defaults the service base URL to https://cloud.uipath.com and the auth home to .uipath., dist/index-5rwqj9ef.js is a bundled project packager that imports node:child\_process for local tooling., dist/index-sby22td6.js vendors the open helper and detects WSL from local filesystem markers. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no agent config or foreign control-surface writes., No credential harvest, remote payload fetch, or self-dependency install chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/api-workflow-tool@1.202.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/api-workflow-tool@1.202.1 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.
