@truffle/environment — Greenflagged

This package contains the code needed to determine environment-specific data

Supply chain provenance

Status for the latest visible version.

No SLSA provenance npm registry signatures gitHead linked

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.

Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

Source	Rule	Reason	Accepted by	When
semgrep	semgrep:silent-process-exec	AI (semgrep): Detached node spawn is Truffle's documented pattern for launching a background ganache chain process.	ai	2026/05/19
semgrep	semgrep:silent-process-exec-var	AI (semgrep): Same detached node spawn; stable false positive for this package.	ai	2026/05/19
semgrep	semgrep:base64-decode	AI (semgrep): Base64 used to pass serialized options to child process — not obfuscation, documented IPC pattern.	ai	2026/05/19
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-import	AI (semgrep): child_process used solely to spawn ganache node subprocess; expected for this package.	ai	2026/05/19
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:@truffle/config	AI (phantom-deps): Same-org sibling dep; phantom-dep heuristic unreliable for monorepo packages.	ai	2026/05/19

LOW No provenance attestation provenance

Package was published without Sigstore provenance. Only ~12% of npm packages have provenance, so this is common but not ideal.
