Provenance

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.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
install-scripts install-script:install AI (install-scripts): Install script compiles/selects native shell.node binary — standard native addon build pattern for this package's purpose of providing synchronous shell execution. ai
npm-metadata bundled-binaries AI (npm-metadata): Bundled .node binaries are prebuilt native addons for Windows platforms, consistent with this package's documented purpose of wrapping synchronous shell execution via native code. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): child_process used in install.js solely to invoke the native addon build process; not a malicious use — consistent with the package's core functionality. ai

3 findings
HIGH Package has 'install' script install-scripts

Script: node install.js

HIGH Bundled binary files (2) npm-metadata

Package contains compiled binaries that could be backdoors: • win32/v0.10/shell.node • win32/v0.8/shell.node

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.
