exec plugin for meta for executing synchronous commands to stdout with a standard format
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| npm-metadata | suspicious-initial-version | AI (npm-metadata): meta-exec is a long-lived, legitimate package (3396 days, 20 versions) that uses 0.0.0 as its version convention. Not a malicious throwaway package. | ai | |
| bogus-package | bogus-package | AI (bogus-package): Package is a small focused utility plugin for the meta ecosystem; tiny payload and minimal README are expected for this type of tool. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-exec | AI (semgrep): meta-exec's core purpose is executing shell commands via child_process.exec; this finding is expected and intentional for every version of this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): child_process import appears in test files for assertion purposes and in the main module as core functionality; stable false positive for this package. | ai |
