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.

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
source-diff net-exec-file:build/gear.js AI (source-diff): File is RequireJS 2.0.2 bundled as a build artifact for this Yahoo build system. Network+exec pattern is RequireJS's documented AMD module loading behavior, not malware. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:build/gear.min.js AI (source-diff): Minified RequireJS 2.0.2 build artifact. Same false-positive rationale as gear.js — AMD loader pattern, not dropper malware. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:lib-cov/jscoverage.js AI (source-diff): This is the GPL-licensed JSCoverage client reporting library. Network calls are XHR for coverage data; eval() is a legacy JSON-parse fallback. Not malicious. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:lib-cov/blob.js AI (source-diff): JSCoverage auto-generated instrumentation file; long lines are coverage counters, not obfuscation. Stable false positive for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:lib-cov/tasks/core.js AI (source-diff): JSCoverage auto-generated instrumentation file; long lines are coverage counters, not obfuscation. Stable false positive for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:lib-cov/registry.js AI (source-diff): JSCoverage auto-generated instrumentation file; long lines are coverage counters, not obfuscation. Stable false positive for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:lib-cov/tasks/tasks.js AI (source-diff): JSCoverage auto-generated instrumentation file; long lines are coverage counters, not obfuscation. Stable false positive for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:lib-cov/queue.js AI (source-diff): JSCoverage auto-generated instrumentation file; long lines are coverage counters, not obfuscation. Stable false positive for this package. ai
semgrep semgrep:eval-usage AI (semgrep): eval() in lib-cov/jscoverage.js is JSCoverage's legacy JSON.parse fallback for old browsers. Benign and stable for this package. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:vendor/require.js AI (source-diff): vendor/require.js is RequireJS 2.0.2, a well-known AMD module loader. Its network+eval patterns are inherent to its design, not malicious. Safe to suppress for this package. ai
source-diff encoded-string-file:build/gear.js AI (source-diff): Long strings are Diffie-Hellman modp prime constants (RFC 3526) embedded in a browserified crypto bundle — not obfuscated payloads. Stable false positive for this package. ai
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): Standard CLI pattern: load local gear install if available, fall back to global. Source is public on GitHub and clearly non-malicious. ai
source-diff encoded-string-file:build/gear.min.js AI (source-diff): Same as gear.js — minified browserify bundle containing DH prime constants and standard crypto code. Not a malicious payload. ai
