CID Implementation in JavaScript
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.

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| source-diff | source-size-tripled | AI (source-diff): Size increase is entirely explained by addition of webpack dist bundles (browser build artifacts via aegir). The main entry point src/index.js is unchanged. | ai | |
| source-diff | net-exec-file:dist/index.js | AI (source-diff): dist/index.js is a standard webpack browser bundle produced by aegir build. The 'network + code execution' pattern is webpack's module loader boilerplate, not malicious dropper behavior. Stable for this package. | ai | |
| publish-pattern | new-deps-added | AI (publish-pattern): class-is is a well-known, legitimate IPFS/IPLD ecosystem utility for type-checking. No malicious signals. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:hex-decode | AI (semgrep): Hardcoded literal hex byte '01' used as CID version prefix in encoding logic. Not payload obfuscation; stable false positive for this package. | ai | |
| typosquat | typosquat.levenshtein:cors | AI (typosquat): 'cids' is a legitimate IPFS Content Identifier package with no relation to 'cors'; the Levenshtein match is a false positive that will generalize across all versions. | ai | |
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): achingbrain is a long-standing contributor to this package and the broader IPFS/multiformats ecosystem with 782 approved packages; transition from vmx is a legitimate org handoff. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): achingbrain and rvagg are both listed contributors in package.json and known Protocol Labs/multiformats ecosystem maintainers; addition is a legitimate org-level change. | ai |
