## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.31.0
- **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 postinstall invokes the declared IBM telemetry CLI, whose source gates collection to CI and honors IBM\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=true; export has its own opt-out. The configured endpoint and notice align with the package’s IBM telemetry functionality, so the inspected source does not establish an attack.

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 install hook starts package-aligned IBM telemetry, with collection limited to CI and an environment opt-out.

- **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script; telemetry collection proceeds only in CI unless disabled.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior reports configured usage metrics; no malicious effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:03:13.376Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI loads telemetry.yml, displays a notice in CI, and sends configured usage metrics to IBM’s telemetry endpoint when export is enabled.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall invokes the declared IBM telemetry CLI, whose source gates collection to CI and honors IBM\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=true; export has its own opt-out. The configured endpoint and notice align with the package’s IBM telemetry functionality, so the inspected source does not establish an attack.

- **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics

### 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 runs the declared IBM telemetry CLI during postinstall, using telemetry.yml., telemetry.yml configures IBM’s telemetry endpoint and npm dependency and JavaScript token metrics; the collector records dependency names and versions and captures imported tokens., The CLI starts the notice and collector. Collection is skipped outside CI or when IBM\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=true, and export has a separate opt-out; the notice describes the telemetry and opt-out., The package entrypoints and inspected Carbon utility dependency entrypoints expose utility functions.
