Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T20:38:53.185Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T20:39:45.102Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 1598 ms - **AI review time:** 49303 ms - **Total time:** 51917 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 concrete attack was established. A runtime dependency used by the package could not be resolved to source in this snapshot, leaving its behavior unverified. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/api/client.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T20:39:45.102Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package imports the declared API client dependency, but its source was unavailable for inspection. - **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. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @datadog/ai-setup-cli@2.0.28. - Review the evidence and your use of @datadog/ai-setup-cli@2.0.28 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.
