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 manifest runs telemetry automatically after installation, but the inspected source does not establish what is sent or whether a request occurs. The remaining uncertainty warrants a warning; the inspected runtime entrypoints contain ordinary design-system values and feature-flag handling. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 73.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T05:59:44.256Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:03:53.452Z - **Download time:** 1276 ms - **Static scan time:** 55 ms - **AI review time:** 247865 ms - **Total time:** 249196 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:** An install-time telemetry command is configured to use an IBM metrics endpoint. The inspected files leave the data sent and effective consent unclear, so they do not establish a confirmed attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through a package manager that runs postinstall hooks. - **Impact:** Installation may disclose telemetry data to the configured endpoint; the reviewed source does not establish the contents or confirm a transfer. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:03:53.452Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the IBM telemetry CLI with telemetry.yml; the config names the metrics endpoint and lists collection categories without clarifying their effective scope. - **Rationale:** The manifest runs telemetry automatically after installation, but the inspected source does not establish what is sent or whether a request occurs. The remaining uncertainty warrants a warning; the inspected runtime entrypoints contain ordinary design-system values and feature-flag handling. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml - **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:** The package runs an automatic postinstall telemetry command and its configuration names an IBM metrics endpoint., The configuration lists npm dependency collection and token collection as null, so the collected data is unclear from these files., The inspected dependency entrypoints contain color constants or environment-based feature flags; they show no attack behavior. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed source does not establish what the telemetry command sends or whether it sends data during installation., The inspected runtime entrypoints show ordinary design-system values and feature-flag handling. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/styles@1.118.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/styles@1.118.0 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.
