Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source is Carbon theme tokens plus a first-party IBM telemetry postinstall whose config does not collect dependencies, tokens, or functions. No in-package code harvests credentials, executes remote payloads, or mutates an agent control surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T06:01:35.253Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T06:02:37.635Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 998 ms - **AI review time:** 60620 ms - **Total time:** 62382 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:** No attack surface was established. The package ships Carbon theme tokens, and its only install hook calls the vendor telemetry CLI with a config that leaves dependency, token, and function collection empty. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall script, which calls ibmtelemetry. - **Impact:** No credential harvest, file mutation, remote payload, persistence, or agent-control write is present in this package. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T06:02:37.635Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script passes telemetry.yml, whose endpoint is the IBM metrics API and whose collect fields are null or empty. Theme entrypoints only export color and layout tokens. - **Rationale:** Inspected source is Carbon theme tokens plus a first-party IBM telemetry postinstall whose config does not collect dependencies, tokens, or functions. No in-package code harvests credentials, executes remote payloads, or mutates an agent control surface. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json names @carbon/themes 11.80.0 as Carbon Design System color themes, with main lib/index.js, module es/index.js, and sass index.scss., The only install lifecycle script is postinstall running ibmtelemetry with telemetry.yml., telemetry.yml points collection at https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics and sets npm dependencies and tokens to null with an empty function map., lib/index.js loads the color package and @carbon/colors, @carbon/type, and @carbon/layout and exports theme token modules., Package source has no child\_process, eval, dynamic code generation, environment reads, or a runtime dependency on @carbon/themes. - **Evidence against:** postinstall runs automatically on npm install and can invoke the separate @ibm/telemetry-js collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/themes@11.80.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/themes@11.80.0 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.
