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. No malicious install hook, persistence, credential harvesting, or concrete exfiltration path was found. The Base64-obscured telemetry configuration and PowerShell-capable helper warrant a warning because the bundle could not be cleanly cleared. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 70.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T13:39:11.124Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T13:41:42.626Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 1379 ms - **AI review time:** 149869 ms - **Total time:** 151502 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:** There is no automatic install-time trigger. When the CLI is run, its bundled URL-opening helper can launch platform commands; the opaque telemetry configuration remains an unresolved concern. - **Trigger:** Running a CLI command that requests opening a URL. - **Impact:** Potential command execution is limited to the URL-opening helper, but the encoded telemetry configuration prevents a clean determination from static inspection alone. - **Evidence paths:** dist/tool-jcjrwxd6.js, dist/index-91ejywfm.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T13:41:42.626Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamically loaded platform URL opener using encoded PowerShell arguments. - **Rationale:** No malicious install hook, persistence, credential harvesting, or concrete exfiltration path was found. The Base64-obscured telemetry configuration and PowerShell-capable helper warrant a warning because the bundle could not be cleanly cleared. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entrypoint that runs package code when invoked., The main bundle contains a Base64-decoded Application Insights connection string., A dynamically loaded platform URL opener can invoke PowerShell with ExecutionPolicy Bypass. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle script., The CLI registers Resource Catalog search and tag commands rather than install-time behavior., The fallback telemetry provider writes redacted events to the logger; no direct telemetry sender is present in this bundle. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/resourcecatalog-tool@1.201.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/resourcecatalog-tool@1.201.0 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.
