AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s postinstall hook automatically runs IBM Telemetry, and its configuration specifies an IBM metrics endpoint. The README discloses telemetry and an opt-out, but default install-time telemetry is suspicious under the review rules.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall script.
Impact
Telemetry is enabled by default during installation; the package documents the collection and an opt-out. The telemetry implementation and exact install-time payload could not be confirmed from the available package source.
Mechanism
The script invokes IBM Telemetry with telemetry.yml, which names the IBM metrics endpoint and configures JSX attribute collection.
AI rationale
The package’s postinstall hook automatically runs IBM Telemetry, and its configuration specifies an IBM metrics endpoint. The README discloses telemetry and an opt-out, but default install-time telemetry is suspicious under the review rules.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook automatically runs `ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml`.
- The telemetry configuration identifies the endpoint `https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics` and configures JSX attribute collection.
- The README discloses de-identified, anonymized telemetry and provides an opt-out, but the install hook runs by default.
Evidence against
- The README describes the collection as de-identified and anonymized and links to opt-out instructions.
- The telemetry configuration uses an explicit list of allowed JSX attribute names.
