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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T05:59:20.214Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:03:44.124Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 106 ms - **AI review time:** 263036 ms - **Total time:** 263910 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 was identified in the inspected source. Installation starts IBM telemetry using the package configuration, which points to IBM’s telemetry endpoint. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior is package-aligned telemetry; no concrete attack impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:03:44.124Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script invokes ibmtelemetry with telemetry.yml; the configuration specifies IBM’s metrics endpoint and telemetry scopes. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/type@11.70.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/type@11.70.0 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.
