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.

Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| maintainer-change | maintainer-removed | AI (maintainer-change): amasad/jmm removal consistent with historical Babel team changes; no malicious indicators. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): babel-node legitimately spawns child processes to pass V8 flags; stable pattern across all versions. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-spawn | AI (semgrep): babel-node re-spawns itself with V8 flags via spawn; documented and expected behavior. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): danez is a known Babel core contributor; addition consistent with Babel team evolution. | ai | |
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): Both loganfsmyth and hzoo are core Babel maintainers; this is a legitimate team publish, not a takeover. | ai | |
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:request | AI (dependencies): request is a well-known HTTP library used legitimately in babel-cli for network calls; stable false positive for this package. | ai | |
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:v8flags | AI (dependencies): v8flags is a well-known utility for enumerating V8 flags, used legitimately by babel-node; stable false positive for this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:dynamic-require | AI (semgrep): Dynamic require in babel-doctor reads package.json from a known path to retrieve version info — standard diagnostic pattern, not arbitrary module loading. | ai |

v6.24.0
2 findingsThis version was published by a different npm account than previous versions on 2017-03-13. This could indicate a legitimate maintainer transition or an account compromise.

v6.23.0
2 findingsThis version was published by a different npm account than previous versions on 2017-02-14. 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.
v6.22.2
2 findingsPackage was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
This version was published by a different npm account (loganfsmyth) than the most recent previously approved version (hzoo) on 2017-01-20, but loganfsmyth is listed as a maintainer on prior approved versions (matched on name). This looks like a manual publish by a known maintainer rather than a publisher change. Recorded as INFO for audit trail.
