@uipath/resourcecatalog-tool@1.196.0

CLI plugin for the UiPath Resource Catalog Service.

AI Security Review

scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a UiPath Resource Catalog CLI that authenticates with UiPath, refreshes stored UiPath credentials, calls Resource Catalog APIs, and may emit telemetry.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

User runs the resourcecatalog-tool CLI or imports/registers its commands.

Impact

Uses existing UiPath credentials for intended Resource Catalog requests; no unrelated exfiltration or install-time execution found.

Mechanism

UiPath-authenticated CLI API calls and telemetry

Rationale

Static source inspection shows a bundled UiPath CLI plugin with expected auth, token refresh, Resource Catalog API calls, telemetry, and platform helper code. Suspicious primitives are package-aligned and user-invoked, with no concrete malicious behavior or install-time execution found.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

dist/tool.js and dist/index.js contain child_process use for bundled open/default-browser/registry helpers, but no install hook invokes them.
dist/tool.js has a base64 Application Insights connection string for UiPath telemetry endpoints.
dist/tool.js reads/writes ~/.uipath/.auth and refreshes UiPath tokens during CLI authentication flows.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts; only main ./dist/tool.js and bin ./dist/index.js.
CLI commands are Resource Catalog operations: rcs search and rcs tag list in dist/tool.js.
Network calls are to user-configured UiPath HTTPS authority, /identity_/connect/token, /resourcecatalog_, and Microsoft Application Insights telemetry.
No evidence of credential harvesting to unrelated hosts, persistence, destructive behavior, or reviewer/AI-agent control-surface writes.
Robot credential fallback uses UiPath IPC names and prints a notice; access token is used for UiPath API client creation.
