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.
Maintainers
Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| email-domain | unclaimed-email:svenlito.com | AI (email-domain): Package is 12+ years old under the official bower GitHub org (Twitter-authored). The stale maintainer email is a historical artifact; no install scripts or malicious code present across any version. | ai | |
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): Publisher change to sheerun occurred in 2014 as a legitimate Bower project maintainer transition. sheerun has a strong track record and the package remains under the official bower GitHub org. | ai | |
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:request | AI (dependencies): The `request` package is a well-known, widely-used HTTP client in the Node.js ecosystem. Its use here is legitimate and expected for a Bower registry client. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): desandro is a well-known, reputable open-source developer; addition to the Bower org package is a legitimate contributor change, not a suspicious takeover. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:rimraf | AI (phantom-deps): rimraf is a legitimate utility dep used in cleanup operations; phantom detection is a false positive for this package. | ai | |
| provenance | no-provenance | AI (provenance): Package is 4670 days old and predates Sigstore provenance; absence is expected and not a security concern for this established package. | ai |
