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:** 0.29.0 - **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-time behavior is package-aligned IBM telemetry, configured without dependency or token collection and with no JavaScript function collection. The inspected entrypoint and environment-variable references show ordinary exports and development-only checks, so the scanner signals do not establish an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T03:10:52.888Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T03:11:20.946Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 37 ms - **AI review time:** 27006 ms - **Total time:** 28058 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 postinstall hook invokes IBM telemetry with a package-provided configuration, and the inspected entrypoint contains ordinary exports. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script; importing the package uses its CommonJS entrypoint. - **Impact:** No concrete harmful effect was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T03:11:20.946Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook calls the IBM telemetry CLI with telemetry.yml. The flagged NODE\_ENV references gate development-only accessibility checks. - **Rationale:** The install-time behavior is package-aligned IBM telemetry, configured without dependency or token collection and with no JavaScript function collection. The inspected entrypoint and environment-variable references show ordinary exports and development-only checks, so the scanner signals do not establish an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, telemetry.yml, lib/index.js, lib/useNoInteractiveChildren/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs the IBM telemetry CLI using the package’s telemetry configuration., Telemetry is sent to IBM’s metrics endpoint; configured dependency and token collection are null, and JavaScript function collection is empty., The flagged environment variable only gates a development-time React accessibility check., The CommonJS entrypoint re-exports package modules and Carbon utilities. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @carbon/utilities-react@0.29.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @carbon/utilities-react@0.29.0 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. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml ``` ### 2. 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. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The postinstall hook runs the IBM telemetry CLI using the package’s telemetry configuration. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml" }, "peerDependencies": { "react": "^16.8.6 || ^17.0.1 || ^18.2.0 || ^19.0.0" }, "devDependencies": { "rimraf": ``` ### 6. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence - **Category:** Dependency - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** telemetry.yml - **Public source:** [View source]() Telemetry is sent to IBM’s metrics endpoint; configured dependency and token collection are null, and JavaScript function collection is empty. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```yaml endpoint: https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics collect: npm: dependencies: null js: functions: {} tokens: null ``` ### 7. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** lib/useNoInteractiveChildren/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The flagged environment variable only gates a development-time React accessibility check. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript seEffect)(() => { if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") return; const { current } = ref; const node = current ? getInteractiveCon ``` ### 8. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** lib/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The CommonJS entrypoint re-exports package modules and Carbon utilities. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const require_StepFlow = require("./chunk.js"); const require_useNoInteractiveChildren_index = require("./useNoInteractiveChildren/index.js"); exports.StepGroup = require_StepFlow. ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 2 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 1 - **Development dependencies:** 3 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 3 ### Published dependency entries - @carbon/utilities ^0.26.0 (Dependency) - @ibm/telemetry-js ^1.6.1 (Dependency) - react ^16.8.6 || ^17.0.1 || ^18.2.0 || ^19.0.0 (PeerDependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @carbon/utilities-react - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.29.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-09-23T14:55:53.897Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-01T13:36:40.413Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-11-04T14:14:51.721Z - **Known versions:** 5 - **Latest version:** 0.32.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Utilities and helpers to drive consistency across software products using the Carbon Design System with React - **Maintainers:** carbon-design-system, carbon-bot, leechase, jeffreychew, sstrubberg - **Keywords:** ibm, carbon, carbon-design-system, carbon-utilities, carbon-react - **Artifact files:** 16 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 32,398 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
