Create, debug, and run UiPath Flow projects and jobs.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe concerning primitives are bundled CLI dependencies and explicit project-management capabilities, not install-time or covert behavior. Source inspection found no lifecycle execution, payload staging, credential harvesting, destructive action, or unconsented persistence.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the flow-tool CLI or calls its exported project-packaging APIs.
Impact
The tool can access user-selected project files and UiPath services to perform the requested operation.
Mechanism
User-invoked UiPath project management, authentication, packaging, and publishing operations.
AI rationale
The concerning primitives are bundled CLI dependencies and explicit project-management capabilities, not install-time or covert behavior. Source inspection found no lifecycle execution, payload staging, credential harvesting, destructive action, or unconsented persistence.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The bundled telemetry code contains an encoded Application Insights connection string.
- The Windows helper can invoke PowerShell with an encoded command.
- The package includes a bundled third-party ELK layout library.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install lifecycle hooks and exposes the code as an explicit CLI/library entrypoint.
- The PowerShell helper is a platform utility; the inspected package-signing invocation uses fixed dotnet arguments with shell disabled.
- Network calls implement authenticated UiPath orchestration and user-requested package upload operations; no secret harvesting or covert exfiltration was found.
