AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found a postinstall telemetry hook directed to IBM’s telemetry endpoint and color-constant entrypoints. The source inspected does not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation triggers the postinstall hook.
Impact
Telemetry collection is configured, but the inspected source does not establish credential theft, unrelated file harvesting, or other malicious behavior.
Mechanism
The hook passes telemetry.yml to ibmtelemetry; the inspected configuration selects the IBM telemetry endpoint and metrics categories.
AI rationale
Static inspection found a postinstall telemetry hook directed to IBM’s telemetry endpoint and color-constant entrypoints. The source inspected does not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook runs the IBM telemetry CLI with the package’s telemetry config.
- The config sends metrics to IBM’s telemetry endpoint and selects npm dependencies and JavaScript functions/tokens for collection.
- The shipped CommonJS and ES entrypoints expose color constants; no attack behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoint excerpts.
