Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 9 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 1.120.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 default postinstall runs telemetry against the IBM metrics endpoint with JSX element collection enabled. No evidence establishes credential theft or unrelated data collection, so this is warning-level telemetry rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T14:14:11.503Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T14:15:22.635Z - **Download time:** 1779 ms - **Static scan time:** 4395 ms - **AI review time:** 64957 ms - **Total time:** 71132 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:** Default install-time telemetry collects JSX element usage and sends it to IBM’s telemetry endpoint. - **Trigger:** Package installation, through the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Sends telemetry without an explicit install-time opt-in; the inspected config does not establish that credentials or unrelated file contents are collected. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T14:15:22.635Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script invokes \`ibmtelemetry\` with \`telemetry.yml\`, which configures JSX element collection and the IBM metrics endpoint. - **Rationale:** The default postinstall runs telemetry against the IBM metrics endpoint with JSX element collection enabled. No evidence establishes credential theft or unrelated data collection, so this is warning-level telemetry rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** telemetry.yml - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs \`ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml\` automatically in its postinstall hook., The telemetry config targets \`www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics\` and enables JSX element collection., The config sets npm dependency collection to null and JavaScript functions and tokens to empty or null values. - **Evidence against:** The package is a React component library, and its main entry is a JavaScript module., Searches of the \`lib\` and \`es\` entry trees found no \`ibmtelemetry\` reference., The configured collection is scoped to JSX elements; the inspected config does not show credential collection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/react@1.120.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/react@1.120.0 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.
