Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and its entrypoints only expose a scaffolding CLI. Process and telemetry helpers are consistent with a user-run UiPath tool and do not form a concrete attack chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T03:16:45.490Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T03:17:34.377Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 5548 ms - **AI review time:** 42312 ms - **Total time:** 48887 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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. The package is a user-invoked CLI that scaffolds vertical-solution projects. - **Trigger:** A user runs the vertical-solutions-tool bin or imports the module and calls registerCommands. - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation, credential theft, remote payload execution, or persistence was established from the inspected entrypoints. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T03:17:34.377Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Command registration wires init, sync, add, and generate actions. Process spawning is limited to helpers such as opening a URL and optional Windows registry lookup for product telemetry. - **Rationale:** The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and its entrypoints only expose a scaffolding CLI. Process and telemetry helpers are consistent with a user-run UiPath tool and do not form a concrete attack chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install lifecycle scripts; the module entry is dist/tool.js and the bin command is dist/index.js., The published tool registers user CLI commands to scaffold and generate vertical-solution projects., child\_process imports in dist/tool-4f38v0ry.js come from the bundled open helper used when the CLI runs, not from an install hook. - **Evidence against:** Bundled OpenTelemetry and Application Insights code can send product telemetry and read a Windows UiPath analytics id after the CLI runs., Windows registry reads and machine-id helpers execute only as part of that runtime telemetry path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @uipath/vertical-solutions-tool@1.200.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @uipath/vertical-solutions-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.
