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 sources show a postinstall telemetry hook and an IBM endpoint, but do not resolve what the CLI sends. Runtime imports also depend on unresolved Carbon packages, so this review cannot establish a clean result or confirm an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 68.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T15:06:06.547Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T15:07:14.800Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 2135 ms - **AI review time:** 65087 ms - **Total time:** 68253 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:** The package invokes a telemetry CLI during installation and configures an IBM metrics endpoint. The inspected files do not establish whether the CLI sends installation data. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script. - **Impact:** No concrete attack was established, but install-time data handling remains unresolved. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml, es/react/chat-button.js, es/components/audio-player/src/transcript.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T15:07:14.800Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script passes telemetry.yml to the telemetry CLI; its request behavior was not verified. - **Rationale:** The inspected sources show a postinstall telemetry hook and an IBM endpoint, but do not resolve what the CLI sends. Runtime imports also depend on unresolved Carbon packages, so this review cannot establish a clean result or confirm an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, es/react/chat-button.js, es/components/audio-player/src/transcript.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 68.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json runs a telemetry CLI during postinstall, but its implementation was not verified., telemetry.yml configures an IBM metrics endpoint; the inspected configuration does not establish what the install hook sends., The package imports @carbon/web-components and @carbon/icons at runtime, and their source was not resolved in this inspection., The inspected icon helper source exports SVG attribute and rendering utilities. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry configuration sets npm dependency collection, JavaScript function collection, and token collection to null or empty values., The inspected icon helper code performs SVG rendering and attribute formatting; no attack behavior appeared in those excerpts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/ai-chat-components@1.13.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/ai-chat-components@1.13.0 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.
