AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed source did not establish concrete attack behavior. The unresolved source for a directly imported runtime dependency prevents a clean verdict.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Use of the package functionality that imports the API client.
Impact
The dependency's behavior remains unassessed, so a clean verdict is not supported by this review.
Mechanism
The package imports the declared API client dependency, but its source was unavailable for inspection.
AI rationale
The inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed source did not establish concrete attack behavior. The unresolved source for a directly imported runtime dependency prevents a clean verdict.
Evidence
package.jsondist/api/client.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest lists build, development, test, preflight, and prepack scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- The manifest declares @datadog/datadog-api-client as a runtime dependency, and dist/api/client.js imports it directly.
- The dependency source could not be inspected: its prepared package manifest path returned ENOENT.
Evidence against
- The inspected source does not establish a concrete attack; the unresolved dependency alone is insufficient to classify the package as malicious.
