Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is a conditional credential exposure risk because an operator-configured gateway can receive the Datadog bearer token without a destination restriction. The inspected source supports a warning, but does not establish covert theft or an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T05:31:42.416Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T05:34:21.773Z - **Download time:** 1294 ms - **Static scan time:** 1675 ms - **AI review time:** 156388 ms - **Total time:** 159357 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:** When a user configures an alternate LLM gateway, the CLI can send its Datadog OAuth bearer token to that destination. The source does not restrict the configured URL to Datadog hosts, so conditional credential exposure remains possible. - **Trigger:** Running onboarding with LLM\_GATEWAY\_URL set to an alternate endpoint. - **Impact:** A configured endpoint outside Datadog may receive the user's Datadog credential; the inspected source does not establish covert theft. - **Evidence paths:** dist/config.js, dist/cli.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a14dcf0f-3d9e-4020-a1b2-ba860fc7ec41/0/npm-linux/sdk.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T05:34:21.773Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI combines the configured gateway URL with authentication headers and passes them to the agent SDK. - **Rationale:** This is a conditional credential exposure risk because an operator-configured gateway can receive the Datadog bearer token without a destination restriction. The inspected source supports a warning, but does not establish covert theft or an install-time attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.\/api/unstable/agentic-onboarding/v1/messages, LLM\_GATEWAY\_URL: operator-configured URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI obtains an OAuth access token during sign-in and stores it for later requests., LLM\_GATEWAY\_URL replaces the site-based gateway URL without a host restriction., The gateway configuration includes the OAuth bearer token, and the agent SDK reads the configured URL and custom headers., The inspected redaction receiver performs string replacement; it does not establish an account action or network transfer. - **Evidence against:** The alternate gateway requires an operator to set LLM\_GATEWAY\_URL; the default URL uses the Datadog site., The inspected source does not show covert credential theft or an install-time attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @datadog/ai-setup-cli@2.0.29. - Review the evidence and your use of @datadog/ai-setup-cli@2.0.29 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.
