deasync — Greenflagged

Turns async function into sync via JavaScript wrapper of Node event loop

Supply chain 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.

Source	Rule	Reason	Accepted by	When
typosquat	typosquat.levenshtein:async	AI (typosquat): deasync is a distinct, well-established package (4400+ days, 497k downloads) unrelated to 'async'; the name similarity is coincidental and not impersonation.	ai	2026/04/24
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:nan	AI (phantom-deps): nan is a build-time C++ dependency referenced in binding.gyp, not a JS import; phantom-dep detection is a false positive for native addon build deps.	ai	2026/04/24
publish-pattern	new-deps-added	AI (publish-pattern): node-addon-api replaces nan as the official N-API C++ wrapper for native addons; this is a standard, well-known migration path with no supply-chain risk for this package.	ai	2026/04/24
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:node-addon-api	AI (phantom-deps): node-addon-api is a native build dependency used by node-gyp/binding.gyp; it is not imported via require() but is legitimately needed. False positive for native addons.	ai	2026/04/24
install-scripts	install-script:install	AI (install-scripts): deasync is a native addon; install script runs node-gyp to compile C++ bindings. This is the documented, expected build flow for this package across all versions.	ai	2026/04/23
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-import	AI (semgrep): child_process import in build.js is solely for invoking node-gyp during install compilation. Expected for native addon build scripts.	ai	2026/04/23
npm-metadata	bundled-binaries	AI (npm-metadata): deasync ships prebuilt .node binaries for many platforms/Node versions as its core distribution mechanism. This is expected and stable for this package.	ai	2026/04/23
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-spawn	AI (semgrep): child_process.spawn in build.js invokes node-gyp rebuild — standard native addon compilation. Not a runtime risk.	ai	2026/04/23
semgrep	semgrep:dynamic-require	AI (semgrep): Dynamic require loads the platform-specific prebuilt .node binary — standard bindings pattern for native addons, not arbitrary code loading.	ai	2026/04/23
