Supply chain provenance
Status for the latest visible version.
Without SLSA provenance there is no cryptographic link between this tarball and the public source — the axios compromise (March 2026) relied on exactly this gap.

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): pyramation is the established Cosmology team publisher with 2677 approved packages and 2767 days of history; transition from zetazz is a legitimate org consolidation. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): New maintainer ljun is part of the Cosmology team; addition is consistent with legitimate org-level maintainer management. | ai | |
| publish-pattern | dormant-publish | AI (publish-pattern): This is a niche ecosystem fork updated infrequently by design; dormancy is expected and publisher track record is strong. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:@types/long | AI (phantom-deps): TypeScript type package loaded by convention, not direct import. Expected for protobufjs TypeScript support. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:@types/node | AI (phantom-deps): TypeScript type package for Node.js, loaded by convention. Standard for any Node.js TypeScript package. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:long | AI (phantom-deps): long is an optional runtime dependency for protobufjs; referenced in config but loaded conditionally. Standard protobufjs pattern. | ai | |
| install-scripts | install-script:postinstall | AI (install-scripts): Postinstall is the standard protobufjs version-scheme check that reads local package.json; benign and inherited from upstream protobufjs. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-exec | AI (semgrep): child_process.exec in pbts.js runs jsdoc with a resolved path — standard CLI tooling behavior for this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): child_process used in pbts.js CLI tool to invoke jsdoc for TypeScript definition generation — expected, documented behavior. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:dynamic-require | AI (semgrep): Dynamic require loads local package.json via path.join(__dirname, '..', 'package.json'); not arbitrary code execution, benign upstream pattern. | ai |
v7.3.2
2 findingsThis version was published by a different npm account than previous versions on 2024-06-13. This could indicate a legitimate maintainer transition or an account compromise.
Package was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
v6.11.5
1 findingPackage was published without Sigstore provenance. Only ~12% of npm packages have provenance, so this is common but not ideal.
