Provenance

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.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
source-diff obfuscated-file:acorn/dist/acorn.mjs AI (source-diff): Same as acorn.js — rollup ESM bundle with long Unicode regex strings. Expected build artifact for this parser package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:acorn/dist/acorn.js AI (source-diff): Acorn's dist bundles are rollup-built parser output; long lines are Unicode identifier regex tables, not obfuscation. Expected build artifact for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:dist/acorn.es.js AI (source-diff): Rollup-built ES module bundle of the acorn parser; long lines are Unicode character class strings. Already marked accepted risk in findings. ai
provenance missing-githead AI (provenance): Acorn is a long-established, well-known parser maintained by its original author. Missing gitHead reflects a build environment change, not a supply chain compromise. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:dist/acorn.mjs AI (source-diff): The long lines in acorn.mjs are Unicode character class regex strings generated by acorn's own tooling — a well-known characteristic of this package, not obfuscation. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-added AI (maintainer-change): adrianheine and rreverser are long-standing acorn contributors in the official acornjs org; legitimate multi-maintainer project, not a takeover. ai
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): Dynamic require in tools/generate-identifier-regex.js is a build-time code-generation tool using controlled inputs (unicode version + category name). No user-controlled input; no runtime risk to package consumers. ai
semgrep semgrep:new-function-constructor AI (semgrep): Acorn is a JS parser that legitimately uses new Function() to build Unicode identifier-range testers from controlled internal data. This is a well-documented pattern in parsers, not a security risk. ai
provenance no-provenance AI (provenance): Acorn is a long-standing, trusted package. Lack of Sigstore provenance is not a concern given its age, history, and known maintainers. ai
typosquat typosquat.levenshtein:cors AI (typosquat): acorn is a well-established ECMAScript parser (4957 days old, 138 versions) with no relation to 'cors'. This is a false positive based on edit distance alone. ai
