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. No install-time execution, self-dependency, credential harvesting, or confirmed exfiltration path was found. The Base64-obscured telemetry connection string and process-launching URL helper remain suspicious enough to warn because static analysis coverage was incomplete. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 70.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T13:44:01.508Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T13:46:14.260Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 1877 ms - **AI review time:** 129859 ms - **Total time:** 132752 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 established. The package runs as a user-invoked CLI and sends authenticated requests to the configured UiPath service. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the traces-tool CLI command. - **Impact:** The CLI can access trace data and feedback within the permissions of the user's existing UiPath session. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T13:46:14.260Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked authenticated trace and feedback API requests. - **Rationale:** No install-time execution, self-dependency, credential harvesting, or confirmed exfiltration path was found. The Base64-obscured telemetry connection string and process-launching URL helper remain suspicious enough to warn because static analysis coverage was incomplete. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes an executable CLI, so package code runs when the user invokes the command., The bundle Base64-decodes a built-in Application Insights telemetry connection string., A bundled URL-opening helper can spawn a platform opener process. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle script., The executable registers trace and feedback commands rather than performing work at installation or import time., Trace requests are made only from a command action after checking login state and attach the existing UiPath bearer token to the configured service URL., The decoded telemetry constant is not used by the shown local telemetry initialization, which selects a logger provider. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/traces-tool@1.201.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/traces-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.
