Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Static inspection found a UI package with local module entry points and a bounded IBM telemetry postinstall configuration. No concrete malicious behavior or active attack surface was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T10:38:34.389Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T10:41:22.737Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 2372 ms - **AI review time:** 165206 ms - **Total time:** 168348 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 attack behavior was identified. The package has an install-time telemetry configuration directed to an IBM metrics endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installation runs the declared postinstall command; normal use imports local entry modules. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential collection, data exfiltration, persistence, destructive action, or remote code execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T10:41:22.737Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall command passes telemetry.yml to the IBM telemetry tool. Inspected runtime code did not contain direct network or code-execution sinks. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found a UI package with local module entry points and a bounded IBM telemetry postinstall configuration. No concrete malicious behavior or active attack surface was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, dist/es/aiChatEntry.js, dist/es/serverEntry.js, dist/es/chat.flattenedPublicConfig.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports local browser and server entry modules., The only install hook invokes the IBM telemetry command with this package's configuration file., The telemetry configuration names an IBM metrics endpoint and restricts collection settings; dependency collection is disabled., The inspected runtime bundle contains no fetch, XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, eval, Function, child-process, or cookie access. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/ai-chat@1.21.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/ai-chat@1.21.0 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.
