Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T01:37:10.636Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T01:37:30.709Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 91 ms - **AI review time:** 19218 ms - **Total time:** 20073 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 runs configured IBM telemetry. The inspected source does not establish a malicious attack surface. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T01:37:30.709Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the IBM telemetry CLI with a config that names IBM’s metrics endpoint and collection categories. - **Rationale:** The 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. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, es/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/elements@11.98.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/elements@11.98.0 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The postinstall hook invokes IBM’s telemetry CLI with the package’s telemetry configuration. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml" }, "dependencies": { "@carbon/color ``` ### 5. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence - **Category:** Dependency - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** telemetry.yml - **Public source:** [View source]() The configuration sends to IBM’s metrics endpoint and limits collection to npm dependencies and JavaScript functions and tokens. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```yaml version: 1 projectId: ab59403a-7d2b-4f03-b4c8-5372dc9e2156 endpoint: https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics collect: npm: dependencies: null js: functions: {} tokens: null ``` ### 6. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** es/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The module entrypoint exports Carbon design tokens and utilities; no malicious behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoints.
