Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic telemetry hook creates a concrete privacy-relevant network path, but the inspected package source shows no payload execution, credential theft, persistence, or destructive behavior. This warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T23:51:08.292Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T23:51:47.267Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 50 ms - **AI review time:** 38164 ms - **Total time:** 38975 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:** Installing the package invokes telemetry automatically. The supplied configuration requests npm dependency metadata for an IBM metrics endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Consumer dependency metadata may be sent to IBM without an explicit package-level opt-in. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T23:51:47.267Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic telemetry collection and metrics submission. - **Rationale:** The automatic telemetry hook creates a concrete privacy-relevant network path, but the inspected package source shows no payload execution, credential theft, persistence, or destructive behavior. This warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs the IBM telemetry command., Its telemetry configuration collects npm dependency metadata and names an IBM metrics endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The runtime library files contain static color values and exports, with no network, shell, file, or dynamic-code primitives., No self-dependency, payload loader, persistence logic, or destructive behavior is present in the package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/colors@11.58.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/colors@11.58.0 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.
