Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Static review of package.json and the bundled dist entrypoints shows an official UiPath RPA CLI with no install hooks and no credential or payload send to an unrelated host. Scanner critical hits are expected dual-use behavior in a bun-bundled packager, executor, and OIDC login client. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T19:48:42.554Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T19:53:14.382Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 9701 ms - **AI review time:** 261351 ms - **Total time:** 271828 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:** This package is a user-invoked UiPath Studio and RPA CLI. npm install does not run lifecycle hooks. Process spawn, OIDC login, NuGet restore, and Helm use are product features that run when an operator starts rpa-tool. - **Trigger:** A user installs the package and later runs the rpa-tool command or calls the exported packager or executor factories. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious attack surface beyond the intended local automation and UiPath service calls. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T19:53:14.382Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party RPA pack, execute, and login toolchain - **Rationale:** Static review of package.json and the bundled dist entrypoints shows an official UiPath RPA CLI with no install hooks and no credential or payload send to an unrelated host. Scanner critical hits are expected dual-use behavior in a bun-bundled packager, executor, and OIDC login client. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json describes a UiPath RPA CLI with dist entrypoints and no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts., dist/index.js is a commander CLI that registers commands and then parses process.argv., dist/packager-tool.js probes dotnet --version and spawns the workflow compiler with shell disabled; the module only exports registerPackagerFactories., dist/tool.js OIDC login validates an https authority and posts the code exchange to {baseUrl}/identity\_/connect/token, defaulting to cloud.uipath.com., dist/executor-tool.js DownloadFile and ExecuteProcess are CoreIPC proxy stubs; Helm is resolved from optional @uipath/studio-helm packages., Scanner env, network, and process hits come from one bun-bundled first-party RPA toolchain, not a hidden install payload. - **Evidence against:** No unofficial gateway, no credential send to an unrelated host, and no foreign AI-agent config writes., The Base64 atob string is an Application Insights connection string used as DEFAULT\_AI\_CONNECTION\_STRING., Helm, NuGet, and compiler process use run when the operator invokes rpa-tool, not at npm install., MCP command registration wraps Studio tools for the CLI rather than mutating another agent's config on install. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/rpa-tool@1.202.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/rpa-tool@1.202.1 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.
