A collection of design elements in code for the IBM Design Language
AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner’s lifecycle finding is explained by package-aligned IBM telemetry configured for IBM’s endpoint. The inspected module entrypoint exports design tokens and utilities, and no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation triggers the postinstall hook.
Impact
Configured package telemetry may be sent to IBM; no unrelated host, credential collection, or other attack behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The hook invokes the IBM telemetry CLI with a config that names IBM’s metrics endpoint and collection categories.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook invokes IBM’s telemetry CLI with the package’s telemetry configuration.
- The configuration sends to IBM’s metrics endpoint and limits collection to npm dependencies and JavaScript functions and tokens.
- The module entrypoint exports Carbon design tokens and utilities; no malicious behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoints.
