React components for the Carbon Design System
AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged postinstall hook invokes the package's declared IBM telemetry dependency and its configuration specifies an IBM telemetry endpoint. The inspected entrypoint loads Carbon UI components; no concrete malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The package manager runs the postinstall hook after installation.
Impact
The inspected evidence supports package-aligned telemetry collection; it does not establish credential theft, destructive behavior, or another attack.
Mechanism
The hook invokes the declared IBM telemetry command with telemetry.yml, which names an IBM metrics endpoint.
AI rationale
The flagged postinstall hook invokes the package's declared IBM telemetry dependency and its configuration specifies an IBM telemetry endpoint. The inspected entrypoint loads Carbon UI components; no concrete malicious behavior was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package entrypoints identify it as a React component library.
- The flagged library entrypoint imports feature flags and UI components.
- The postinstall hook invokes the declared IBM telemetry dependency with the package's telemetry configuration.
- The telemetry configuration directs metrics to IBM's telemetry endpoint.
Evidence against
- Installation triggers a telemetry command, but the inspected configuration uses an IBM endpoint and the package describes the collection as telemetry.
- No malicious behavior was identified in the inspected library entrypoint.
