AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook is a telemetry command, but its configured recipient is IBM’s telemetry service and the telemetry tool is an IBM package dependency. The inspected package entrypoints and required dependency sources showed no concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall script.
Impact
The inspected behavior is package-aligned telemetry; no concrete attack impact was established.
Mechanism
The script invokes ibmtelemetry with telemetry.yml; the configuration specifies IBM’s metrics endpoint and telemetry scopes.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook is a telemetry command, but its configured recipient is IBM’s telemetry service and the telemetry tool is an IBM package dependency. The inspected package entrypoints and required dependency sources showed no concrete malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package postinstall invokes IBM’s telemetry CLI with its included configuration.
- The telemetry configuration names IBM’s telemetry endpoint and selects npm dependency and JavaScript telemetry scopes.
- The telemetry tool is provided by the declared @ibm/telemetry-js dependency.
- The inspected @carbon/layout entrypoints expose design token values, consistent with the package’s typography and layout purpose.
- The related @carbon/layout and @carbon/grid packages use the same IBM telemetry hook; no malicious behavior was identified in the required inspected source paths.
Evidence against
- Installation runs a postinstall telemetry command, and the configuration includes npm dependency telemetry.
