Is UiPath Browser Automation 23.4 safe?
UiPath Browser Automation reads and modifies content on any page under the control of the local UiPath Studio desktop app.
This is the browser side of UiPath's robotic process automation product. A content script injected into every page (http, https, and file URLs) carries out driver operations such as reading and extracting page content, clicking, typing, highlighting elements, and injecting JavaScript. These commands originate from the locally installed UiPath Studio desktop application over native messaging, and the extension holds broad capabilities (the debugger, cookies, scripting, and webRequest permissions plus <all_urls> host access) to script tabs on the desktop app's behalf.
