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
bogus-package bogus-package AI (bogus-package): babel-loader is a canonical, high-download Babel ecosystem package. The mass-production and off-topic README signals are false positives for this well-established project. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:coverage/lcov-report/prettify.js AI (source-diff): This is Google's code-prettify library bundled in Istanbul/lcov HTML coverage reports — standard minified JS, not malicious obfuscation. ai
source-diff source-size-tripled AI (source-diff): Size increase from 3KB to 18KB reflects legitimate feature additions (caching, options, object-assign integration) across multiple minor versions of a well-established webpack loader. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:babel-core AI (dependencies): babel-core is the canonical Babel core package and an entirely expected dependency for a Babel webpack loader; not suspicious in this context. ai
provenance publisher-changed AI (provenance): nicolo-ribaudo is a known Babel core team member; transition from danez is a legitimate org handoff within the babel GitHub org. ai
publish-pattern new-deps-added AI (publish-pattern): schema-utils is a standard webpack ecosystem validation package; its addition replaces loader-utils for option validation in webpack 5 compatibility. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-added AI (maintainer-change): New maintainers (nicolo-ribaudo, existentialism) are Babel ecosystem contributors; this is a legitimate team transition, not a compromise. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-removed AI (maintainer-change): babel-loader is maintained by the Babel core team; maintainer rotation within the org is expected and not indicative of a takeover. ai
publish-pattern dormant-publish AI (publish-pattern): The long gap reflects a major version release (v8 to v10) aligned with Babel 8 beta; dormancy is explained by the major rewrite cycle. ai
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): Dynamic require is babel-loader's documented 'customize' option feature; user-controlled, not attacker-controlled. Stable pattern for this package. ai

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.
