Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 1.200.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The explicit init command creates AI-agent configuration files, which is a guarded agent capability requiring a warning under policy. The inspected package entrypoints show no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious execution chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T03:09:32.527Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T03:12:48.884Z - **Download time:** 1027 ms - **Static scan time:** 10710 ms - **AI review time:** 184620 ms - **Total time:** 196357 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was identified. The init command deliberately creates AI-agent briefing files in a user-requested new solution. - **Trigger:** A user runs the solution-tool init command. - **Impact:** This changes agent guidance for that newly created project; it does not run during npm installation. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T03:12:48.884Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command loads a packaged template and writes AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md beneath the new solution directory. - **Rationale:** The explicit init command creates AI-agent configuration files, which is a guarded agent capability requiring a warning under policy. The inspected package entrypoints show no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious execution chain. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a command-line tool and has no lifecycle hook in its manifest., The explicit init command creates briefing files for AI coding agents inside the newly created solution directory., The initializer writes the briefing only when its caller supplies briefing content, rather than at package installation., Authentication refresh is an OAuth token exchange with an expected authority check., A download helper can forward a bearer token to its supplied download URL, but no active attack trigger was identified., The bundled process launch is a normal argument-based spawn call. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/solution-tool@1.200.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/solution-tool@1.200.0 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.
