AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged postinstall starts IBM telemetry using this package's configuration. The configured IBM endpoint, scoped collection, and CI and disable-setting gates support ordinary package-aligned telemetry; inspected source establishes no concrete attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation invokes the postinstall script; collection proceeds only when the telemetry worker's conditions are met.
Impact
This supports package telemetry rather than a confirmed attack surface.
Mechanism
The telemetry CLI uses telemetry.yml to collect configured npm metrics and send them to the specified IBM endpoint.
AI rationale
The flagged postinstall starts IBM telemetry using this package's configuration. The configured IBM endpoint, scoped collection, and CI and disable-setting gates support ordinary package-aligned telemetry; inspected source establishes no concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json's postinstall runs the IBM telemetry CLI with this package's telemetry configuration.
- telemetry.yml targets IBM's telemetry service and configures npm collection with no JavaScript function collection.
- The telemetry worker starts only when CI is detected and telemetry has not been disabled, then sends collected metrics to the configured endpoint.
- The package runtime entry point provides layout constants and helpers; no attack behavior was identified there.
Evidence against
- Installation can automatically start telemetry collection in detected CI environments unless telemetry is disabled.
