## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The postinstall hook configures IBM telemetry for this component package; no malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected manifest and telemetry configuration.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** Telemetry configuration is package-aligned; inspected evidence does not establish credential theft, destructive behavior, or an unrelated control-surface mutation.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T03:39:36.539Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the IBM telemetry CLI with telemetry.yml, which specifies an IBM metrics endpoint and allowed web-component attributes.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall signal resolves to package-aligned IBM telemetry configured in telemetry.yml. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies this package and runs the IBM telemetry CLI from postinstall using its checked-in configuration., The telemetry configuration sends metrics to an IBM endpoint and limits web-component collection to named attributes, consistent with package telemetry.
