AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms automatic install-time telemetry directed to an IBM endpoint, but does not establish the telemetry implementation’s transmitted data or effective consent behavior. This unresolved disclosure risk warrants a warning; the inspected source does not establish malicious activity.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall command.
Impact
Installation may disclose telemetry metrics to IBM; the inspected source does not establish the complete payload or consent behavior.
Mechanism
The command invokes IBM Telemetry with telemetry.yml, which specifies an IBM metrics endpoint and JSX attribute collection.
AI rationale
The source confirms automatic install-time telemetry directed to an IBM endpoint, but does not establish the telemetry implementation’s transmitted data or effective consent behavior. This unresolved disclosure risk warrants a warning; the inspected source does not establish malicious activity.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 73.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs the IBM telemetry command automatically on install.
- telemetry.yml directs collection to IBM’s metrics endpoint and configures collection of JSX element attributes.
- package.json declares @ibm/telemetry-js, but its implementation is not available in the inspected package snapshot, so the transmitted data and effective consent behavior remain unresolved.
Evidence against
- The configured endpoint is IBM’s telemetry service, consistent with this IBM package.
- The telemetry configuration sets npm dependency, JavaScript function, and token collection fields to null or empty.
