Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Agent skill and Claude plugin changes are a real first-party capability, but they run only from explicit CLI commands and not from npm lifecycle hooks. That matches a user-invoked agent configuration warning rather than an unconsented install hijack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T03:08:09.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T03:09:51.365Z - **Download time:** 1260 ms - **Static scan time:** 11614 ms - **AI review time:** 88645 ms - **Total time:** 101520 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:** The CLI can write coding-agent skill files and install a first-party Claude plugin, but only after a person runs a skills or update command. npm install does not perform that mutation. - **Trigger:** A user runs uip skills install, uip skills update, or uip update. - **Impact:** The chosen coding agent receives UiPath skill content, and Claude receives the vendor plugin. No silent install-time control-surface write was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T03:09:51.365Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command selects an agent, copies skill files into that agent's skills directory, and for Claude invokes the claude CLI to add a directory marketplace and install uipath@uipath-marketplace. - **Rationale:** Agent skill and Claude plugin changes are a real first-party capability, but they run only from explicit CLI commands and not from npm lifecycle hooks. That matches a user-invoked agent configuration warning rather than an unconsented install hijack. - **Files touched:** .claude, agent skills directories ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The skills install command copies UiPath skills into selected coding-agent directories and, for Claude, runs the Claude CLI to register a local marketplace and install the uipath plugin., package.json publishes the uip bin and defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts., Skill and plugin refresh runs only when the user invokes uip skills update or uip update. - **Evidence against:** Agent directory writes and the Claude plugin install are reached only from explicit skills or update subcommands., The Claude plugin id is the vendor plugin uipath on marketplace uipath-marketplace., No install hook, eval payload, or unrelated credential send was found on this command path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/cli@1.202.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/cli@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.
