The package is an explicitly invoked RPA CLI; its network and process operations implement project, authentication, package-feed, and compiler workflows. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T14:37:14.151Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T14:38:40.346Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 15756 ms - **AI review time:** 69680 ms - **Total time:** 86195 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was confirmed. The package is an explicitly invoked RPA CLI; its network and process operations implement project, authentication, package-feed, and compiler workflows. - **Trigger:** The user runs the rpa-tool command. - **Impact:** No unconsented installation-time execution, secret exfiltration, persistence, or foreign-package mutation was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/tool.js, dist/packager-tool.js, dist/executor-tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T14:38:40.346Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked RPA project management with optional telemetry. - **Rationale:** The scanner claims are not supported by the inspected source. The package has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged network, child-process, environment, and file operations are reachable through explicit CLI functionality rather than an automatic malicious chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The user-invoked CLI initializes Application Insights telemetry and can retain pending telemetry locally., The CLI detects agent-related environment markers, including Codex, for telemetry context. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook or self-dependency., The executable runs only through the rpa-tool bin entrypoint, not during installation or import., Network requests implement user-requested UiPath authentication, package-feed, project, and compiler operations., Telemetry redacts sensitive names and token-like values before recording command properties., No foreign package overwrite, credential redirect, payload download-and-execute chain, or destructive behavior was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
