Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package enables an install-time telemetry hook, which is suspicious under the review rules even though the documentation discloses telemetry and offers an opt-out. The package snapshot does not include the configuration named by the hook, so the exact install-time payload is unconfirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T03:58:35.904Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T03:59:48.991Z - **Download time:** 5601 ms - **Static scan time:** 9073 ms - **AI review time:** 58412 ms - **Total time:** 73087 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:** An install-time telemetry hook is enabled by default, creating a warning-level telemetry risk. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Install-time telemetry may be sent to IBM. The available configuration references anonymized metrics, and no credential or project-data collection was identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, docs/documentation/index.html, .lpm-dependency-evidence-9b56c88a-ff96-450b-afea-8cabb199af5d/0/npm-linux/telemetry.yml - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T03:59:48.991Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script calls IBM Telemetry with a telemetry.yml configuration. The package documents telemetry collection and an opt-out; the package-level configuration file was not found, so the precise behavior of this hook could not be confirmed from the package snapshot. - **Rationale:** The package enables an install-time telemetry hook, which is suspicious under the review rules even though the documentation discloses telemetry and offers an opt-out. The package snapshot does not include the configuration named by the hook, so the exact install-time payload is unconfirmed. - **Network endpoints:** https://www-api.ibm.com/ibm-telemetry/v1/metrics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** An enabled postinstall runs \`ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml\`., The package documentation says installation enables IBM Telemetry collection and describes an opt-out., The referenced IBM telemetry configuration uses an IBM metrics endpoint and collects npm dependency and JavaScript metrics; the package-level \`telemetry.yml\` was not present in the inspected files. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry is disclosed in the package documentation as de-identified and anonymized, with opt-out instructions., The package entry points inspected are generated exports; no unrelated attack behavior was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to carbon-components-angular@5.72.5. - Review the evidence and your use of carbon-components-angular@5.72.5 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.
