A collection of design elements in code for the IBM Design Language
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic telemetry hook is a package-aligned metrics configuration, while the published runtime code is limited to design-token re-exports. Static inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
Configured telemetry may send metrics; no harmful package behavior was found.
Mechanism
Invokes IBM telemetry with telemetry.yml.
AI rationale
The automatic telemetry hook is a package-aligned metrics configuration, while the published runtime code is limited to design-token re-exports. Static inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The install-time postinstall hook invokes the IBM telemetry CLI.
- The telemetry configuration specifies an IBM metrics endpoint and npm dependency collection.
Evidence against
- The runtime entrypoints only re-export Carbon design-token modules.
- No package source contains file harvesting, shell execution, dynamic evaluation, destructive actions, or hidden payload loading.
- There is no self-dependency or AI-agent configuration mutation.
