Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 10 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 1.201.0 - **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 inspected code is broadly consistent with a UiPath command-line client, but opaque telemetry configuration and incomplete analysis of the large bundle prevent a clean verdict. No concrete malicious behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T13:47:21.959Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T13:49:34.245Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 3956 ms - **AI review time:** 127563 ms - **Total time:** 132286 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 automatic install-time attack surface was found. When a user runs the CLI, bundled code may initialize telemetry and can launch a platform URL opener. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the tasks-tool command. - **Impact:** The opaque telemetry configuration and large bundled runtime leave a limited unresolved review risk, but no concrete malicious action was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/tool-rsk1xt86.js, dist/index-w03qc9m8.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T13:49:34.245Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Bundled telemetry, OAuth authentication, and URL-opening support. - **Rationale:** The inspected code is broadly consistent with a UiPath command-line client, but opaque telemetry configuration and incomplete analysis of the large bundle prevent a clean verdict. No concrete malicious behavior was found. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/tool-rsk1xt86.js, dist/index-w03qc9m8.js - **Network endpoints:** westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com, westeurope.livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a CLI that runs bundled code., The shared bundle hides its telemetry connection string behind Base64 decoding., A bundled OS-opening helper imports child-process and spawns a command. - **Evidence against:** package.json defines no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script., The CLI entrypoint only registers commands and parses user-supplied arguments., The authentication code derives its token endpoint from an HTTPS UiPath authority and performs an OAuth refresh request., No source evidence shows secret harvesting, destructive actions, persistence, or self-dependency. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/tasks-tool@1.201.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/tasks-tool@1.201.0 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.
