The CLI is activated by explicit user commands and calls authenticated UiPath task APIs; bundled telemetry is package-aligned. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T09:31:43.649Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T09:32:33.997Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 6099 ms - **AI review time:** 43497 ms - **Total time:** 50348 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The CLI is activated by explicit user commands and calls authenticated UiPath task APIs; bundled telemetry is package-aligned. - **Trigger:** User runs the tasks-tool CLI command. - **Impact:** Performs requested task list/get/assign/reassign/unassign/complete operations under the user's existing UiPath session. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.ts, src/commands/tasks.ts, src/utils/sdk-client.ts, dist/tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T09:32:33.997Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authenticated UiPath Action Center task management with telemetry. - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows a user-invoked UiPath task-management CLI with no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious execution chain. Scanner hits arise from bundled dependencies, authentication, and telemetry. - **Files touched:** src/index.ts, src/commands/tasks.ts, src/utils/sdk-client.ts, dist/tool.js - **Network endpoints:** https://westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/tool.js includes UiPath telemetry export to Application Insights. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., src/index.ts only registers and parses explicit CLI commands., src/commands/tasks.ts performs named Action Center task operations., src/utils/sdk-client.ts obtains an existing UiPath login token and constructs the SDK client., No package source uses shell execution, dynamic evaluation, or arbitrary download-and-execute., Bundled child-process/Base64 matches are dependency/auth/telemetry code, not package task-command logic. ## Public findings ### 1.
