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 telemetry configuration is consistent with package-aligned telemetry and does not show an attack. The source for @carbon/ai-chat-components, a directly imported runtime dependency, was unavailable, so the review remains unresolved. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T15:03:08.407Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T15:03:52.588Z - **Download time:** 1533 ms - **Static scan time:** 2296 ms - **AI review time:** 40352 ms - **Total time:** 44181 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 concrete attack was identified in the inspected package source. Review remains unresolved because an imported runtime dependency’s source was unavailable. - **Trigger:** Importing the package entrypoint loads @carbon/ai-chat-components. - **Impact:** The unavailable dependency prevents ruling out behavior in the imported code; the inspected telemetry configuration does not establish an attack. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/es/aiChatEntry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T15:03:52.588Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entrypoint imports modules from that dependency, but its source archive could not be inspected; the package postinstall separately invokes IBM telemetry with a package-provided configuration. - **Rationale:** The inspected telemetry configuration is consistent with package-aligned telemetry and does not show an attack. The source for @carbon/ai-chat-components, a directly imported runtime dependency, was unavailable, so the review remains unresolved. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, dist/es/aiChatEntry.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package postinstall invokes IBM telemetry, and its entrypoint imports @carbon/ai-chat-components, whose source was unresolved in the supplied inspection., The package declares @carbon/ai-chat-components as a runtime dependency; source review could not resolve that dependency’s archive., The inspected Carbon utilities dependency also runs IBM telemetry at postinstall, and its entrypoint re-exports a number library. - **Evidence against:** The package telemetry configuration targets IBM’s telemetry endpoint and limits collection to listed component attributes; dependency, function, and token collection are disabled., The inspected Carbon utilities entrypoint contains imports and exports, with no observed install-time behavior in that file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/ai-chat@1.23.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/ai-chat@1.23.0 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.
