bytes
Utility to parse a string bytes to bytes and vice-versa
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): Well-known legitimate transition from tjholowaychuk to dougwilson across the Express ecosystem. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): dougwilson is the established maintainer of bytes and many related Express packages. | ai | |
| source-diff | source-size-tripled | AI (source-diff): Growth from ~1KB to ~3KB is trivial for a utility package adding features; not indicative of payload injection. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:dynamic-require | AI (semgrep): The dynamic requires load local lib files via __dirname + static path strings — not user-controlled input. This is a benign local module loading pattern stable for this package. | ai |
