User-invoked CLI commands create or update Vertical Solution project files and may use UiPath-authenticated APIs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T09:35:42.231Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T09:36:49.723Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 7919 ms - **AI review time:** 58815 ms - **Total time:** 67492 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. User-invoked CLI commands create or update Vertical Solution project files and may use UiPath-authenticated APIs. - **Trigger:** Explicit execution of the vertical-solutions-tool CLI or a host CLI loading its commands. - **Impact:** Writes are limited to requested/current project files; no install-time mutation, remote-code execution, or credential exfiltration chain was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/tool.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T09:36:49.723Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project scaffolding, generation, synchronization, and UiPath API authentication. - **Rationale:** The scanner’s download/execute and foreign-overwrite claims are not supported by source inspection. The bundled executable implements explicit UiPath project CLI commands and standard authentication/telemetry behavior. - **Files touched:** vss.json, vss.gen.ts, data\_fabric\_schema.json - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.uipath.com, https://westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., dist/tool.js exports command registration; no import-time command execution., dist/index.js only parses CLI arguments after explicit binary invocation., dist/tool.js writes project files only in init/generate/add/sync commands., Network use is UiPath OAuth/API access and Application Insights telemetry., Base64 use parses JWTs/validates schemas; no decoded payload execution found. ## Public findings ### 1.
