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 and configured endpoint leave the scope and consent of install-time data collection unresolved. The IBM endpoint fits the package publisher, and the inspected runtime entrypoint contains color constants, so the evidence does not support a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T01:31:43.711Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T01:32:12.380Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 64 ms - **AI review time:** 27844 ms - **Total time:** 28669 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 install hook invokes telemetry configured with an IBM metrics endpoint. The inspected source does not establish what data is sent or whether the telemetry tool has a consent guard. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Install-time telemetry may disclose package or dependency information; the inspected source does not establish the data scope. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T01:32:12.380Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes ibmtelemetry with telemetry.yml, which specifies the IBM endpoint and npm dependency collection. - **Rationale:** The automatic telemetry hook and configured endpoint leave the scope and consent of install-time data collection unresolved. The IBM endpoint fits the package publisher, and the inspected runtime entrypoint contains color constants, so the evidence does not support a block. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs the ibmtelemetry CLI using the package telemetry configuration., The configuration names an IBM metrics endpoint and enables npm dependency collection, but the collected fields and consent behavior are not established by the inspected source. - **Evidence against:** The endpoint is on an IBM host, consistent with this IBM Carbon package., The inspected runtime entrypoint begins with generated color constants. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/colors@11.59.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/colors@11.59.0 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.
