## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 2.25.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 lifecycle scripts and runtime excerpts do not establish a concrete attack. However, the dependency manifest declares a main file that could not be read, preventing the required dependency-source coverage; manual review is appropriate while that source is unresolved.

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 confirmed attack behavior was established from the inspected source. The declared main file of the @netlify/types dependency was unavailable for inspection, leaving required dependency-source coverage incomplete.

- **Trigger:** Importing the separate instrumentation module starts OpenTelemetry tracing; the package prepare hook installs repository Husky hooks.

- **Impact:** The missing declared dependency main file prevents a complete source review, so a clean verdict cannot be supported from this inspection.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-dependency-evidence-f5da176c-da7c-41b6-8bf1-7045ffbb6102/0/npm-linux/dist/main.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T12:35:50.260Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The instrumentation bundle includes platform-specific machine identifier reads and initializes a tracing SDK. The inspected code does not establish that the identifier is sent to an unrelated recipient.

- **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle scripts and runtime excerpts do not establish a concrete attack. However, the dependency manifest declares a main file that could not be read, preventing the required dependency-source coverage; manual review is appropriate while that source is unresolved.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/telemetry/instrumentation.js, dist/index\_server.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-f5da176c-da7c-41b6-8bf1-7045ffbb6102/0/npm-linux/package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The package entrypoints expose the main API, server API, and a separate instrumentation module; its prepare hook installs repository Husky hooks., The instrumentation module reads a machine identifier through platform-specific commands and starts OpenTelemetry tracing when loaded., The declared @netlify/types dependency describes itself as TypeScript definitions and has no install lifecycle scripts, but its declared main file could not be read.

- **Evidence against:** The server bundle contains ordinary request and event handler selection logic., The instrumentation source shows service and Netlify site attributes used to initialize tracing.

## Affected versions and remediation
