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 is package-aligned IBM telemetry, and its configuration names IBM's telemetry endpoint with collection fields set to null or empty values. The required Storybook bundle excerpt shows ordinary Angular browser XHR support; no concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T03:57:46.277Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T03:58:21.362Z - **Download time:** 5136 ms - **Static scan time:** 8723 ms - **AI review time:** 21224 ms - **Total time:** 35085 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 configuration that points to IBM's telemetry endpoint. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Inspected source does not establish malicious collection or an attack on the installing system. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T03:58:21.362Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs the declared IBM telemetry command using telemetry.yml. - **Rationale:** The install hook is package-aligned IBM telemetry, and its configuration names IBM's telemetry endpoint with collection fields set to null or empty values. The required Storybook bundle excerpt shows ordinary Angular browser XHR support; no concrete attack behavior was identified. - **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 manifest identifies IBM telemetry as a dependency and uses it for the postinstall hook., The telemetry configuration points to IBM's telemetry endpoint and sets the listed collection fields to null or empty values., The required Storybook bundle excerpt shows Angular's browser XHR service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to carbon-components-angular@5.72.3. - Review the evidence and your use of carbon-components-angular@5.72.3 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.
