The find-package command may send credentials from the user's NuGet.Config to that configuration's package-feed URLs; no install-time execution or unconsented exfiltration was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T09:54:52.454Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T09:55:31.444Z - **Download time:** 1002 ms - **Static scan time:** 4269 ms - **AI review time:** 33718 ms - **Total time:** 38990 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit CLI commands download, cache, extract, and execute UiPath's legacy Windows CLI. The find-package command may send credentials from the user's NuGet.Config to that configuration's package-feed URLs; no install-time execution or unconsented exfiltration was found. - **Trigger:** User runs rpa-legacy commands, including find-package or commands requiring the legacy CLI. - **Impact:** Executes a downloaded Windows CLI; configured feed credentials are disclosed to their configured feed hosts. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T09:55:31.444Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked remote binary download/execution and configured-feed authentication. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by source evidence: risky actions are user-invoked and aligned with its legacy UiPath CLI function. Its remote executable bootstrap and configured-feed credential forwarding remain a meaningful dangerous capability. - **Files touched:** ~/.uipath/.cache/rpa-legacy-tool/26.4.0.3, %APPDATA%/NuGet/NuGet.Config, ./.uipath/.auth, ~/.uipath/.auth - **Network endpoints:** https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/uipath/Public.Feeds/\_packaging/UiPath-Official/nuget/v3/index.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/tool.js downloads a NuGet package then extracts it to ~/.uipath/.cache., dist/tool.js executes the extracted uipcli.exe with child\_process.spawn., dist/tool.js reads NuGet.Config credentials and sends Basic auth to configured feed URLs. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., dist/index.js only registers and parses explicit CLI commands., Legacy CLI download uses the UiPath Azure DevOps public-feed index., Credential-bearing requests occur only in the explicit find-package path. ## Public findings ### 1.
