Runtime network calls are UiPath feed/auth operations and Azure telemetry triggered by explicit CLI use. - **Trigger:** User runs rpa-tool or invokes its RPA commands. - **Impact:** Operates on the selected RPA project and reports command telemetry; no unconsented install-time action found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/tool.js, dist/packager-tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T06:42:14.441Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** UiPath Studio/Robot orchestration, authenticated package-feed lookup, and telemetry. - **Rationale:** The scanner's command/network/Base64 signals map to an explicit UiPath RPA CLI, authenticated package-feed discovery, and Azure Application Insights telemetry. There are no lifecycle hooks or a concrete malicious execution, exfiltration, persistence, or control-surface mutation chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/tool.js, dist/packager-tool.js - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.uipath.com, https://westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/, https://westeurope.livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/packager-tool.js embeds an obfuscated Application Insights connection string., CLI telemetry can report user-invoked command outcomes. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., dist/index.js only runs after the rpa-tool executable is invoked., dist/packager-tool.js fetches UiPath package feeds using the logged-in UiPath token., The Base64 string resolves to Azure Application Insights telemetry, not a hidden payload URL., Child-process use is for explicit Studio, Robot, compiler, and platform command operations., No source evidence of credential harvesting, arbitrary remote code loading, or foreign agent-control writes. ## Public findings ### 1.
