Is UiPath Web Automation safe?
UiPath Web Automation loads and executes JavaScript from a local native messaging host and can inject that code into any open browser tab.
The extension connects to the native host com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2 at startup and fetches JavaScript via a LoadScripts call; that code is executed via eval in the background page and distributed to content scripts running in all frames on every site. A separate InjectAndRunJs command allows the native host to supply arbitrary JavaScript that the extension then executes in any browser tab via chrome.tabs.executeScript. This design means the local UiPath RPA agent controls what code runs in the browser across all open pages.
