AI Security Review
scanned 23h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s default postinstall hook sends telemetry to IBM, so installation causes data collection without an explicit request. The source does not establish credential theft or unrelated data exfiltration, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation, through the postinstall hook.
Impact
Telemetry is sent without an explicit install-time request; no credential or unrelated file collection was identified.
Mechanism
Runs IBM’s telemetry CLI using the package’s telemetry configuration, which enables npm dependency and JavaScript collection.
AI rationale
The package’s default postinstall hook sends telemetry to IBM, so installation causes data collection without an explicit request. The source does not establish credential theft or unrelated data exfiltration, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package runs `ibmtelemetry --config=telemetry.yml` automatically in its postinstall hook.
- The telemetry configuration sends to IBM’s telemetry endpoint and enables npm dependency and JavaScript collection.
Evidence against
- The package is an Angular component library, and the flagged checkbox runtime code subscribes to component changes.
- The configured endpoint is IBM’s telemetry service; no credential or unrelated file collection was established.
