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. This is the UiPath CLI authentication library: no install hooks, and the flagged spawn, env, and fetch paths implement interactive OIDC login against UiPath identity hosts. Static download-and-execute and shell findings are the bundled open/browser helpers plus token POST, not remote code execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T01:37:41.665Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T01:40:54.356Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 2741 ms - **AI review time:** 189187 ms - **Total time:** 192691 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 is present. Child-process, environment, and network use belong to user-called UiPath OIDC login and token storage. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls exported login or token helpers such as interactiveLogin or authenticate; npm install does not run this package. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact. Scanner download-and-execute and shell labels are false positives on the bundled browser opener and fetch of identity token URLs. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T01:40:54.356Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked OIDC browser login and token exchange - **Rationale:** This is the UiPath CLI authentication library: no install hooks, and the flagged spawn, env, and fetch paths implement interactive OIDC login against UiPath identity hosts. Static download-and-execute and shell findings are the bundled open/browser helpers plus token POST, not remote code execution. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/index.js bundles node:child\_process spawn plus PowerShell and xdg-open helpers to launch a URL in the system browser., The same entrypoint POSTs to an OIDC token URL, reads UIPATH\_\* environment variables, and writes local UiPath credential files when login APIs run. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts or bin entry; only the dist tree is published., Process spawning is the bundled open/default-browser stack used when interactive OIDC login opens the user's browser., Network calls target the configured UiPath identity host (default https://cloud.uipath.com) and a localhost callback, not a third-party drop site., Credential and env file I/O is invoked from exported login, status, and logout functions, not at install or import time. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/auth@1.202.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/auth@1.202.0 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.
