Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 8 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.28.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hook runs the IBM telemetry client with a package-local configuration, and the inspected configuration disables the listed dependency, function, and token collection. The entrypoint exports package utilities; no concrete malicious behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T03:10:37.241Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T03:11:03.364Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 31 ms - **AI review time:** 25311 ms - **Total time:** 26123 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. The package runs IBM telemetry after installation using a package-local configuration. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the postinstall script. - **Impact:** The inspected source does not establish malicious collection or another concrete attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T03:11:03.364Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script invokes ibmtelemetry with telemetry.yml, which points to IBM's telemetry endpoint and configures no dependency, function, or token collection. - **Rationale:** The install hook runs the IBM telemetry client with a package-local configuration, and the inspected configuration disables the listed dependency, function, and token collection. The entrypoint exports package utilities; no concrete malicious behavior was found. - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs the named IBM telemetry client with a package-local config at postinstall., telemetry.yml sets an IBM telemetry endpoint and configures no dependency, function, or token collection., lib/index.js exposes React utility exports through local modules and @carbon/utilities. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/utilities-react@0.28.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/utilities-react@0.28.0 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.
