## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 11 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.119.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically starts IBM telemetry using the package’s configuration. The endpoint is package-aligned, but the telemetry implementation and its effective consent behavior could not be resolved from the inspected source.

- **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.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml, .lpm-dependency-evidence-41115f17-aa88-4015-b6b1-c5e985dff965/0/npm-linux/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:23:31.400Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The command invokes IBM Telemetry with telemetry.yml, which specifies an IBM metrics endpoint and JSX attribute collection.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, .lpm-dependency-evidence-41115f17-aa88-4015-b6b1-c5e985dff965/0/npm-linux/package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 73.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.
