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
publish-pattern new-deps-added AI (publish-pattern): path-array is a legitimate, established package for PATH management; consistent with nw-gyp's role as a native build tool. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): nw-gyp is a native addon build tool; invoking child_process to run gyp/make/msbuild is core functionality, not malicious. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-spawn AI (semgrep): Spawning system processes is required for a native build tool; this is expected and documented behavior. ai
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): Dynamic require is used for command dispatch within the package's own directory (configure, build, clean, etc.); not loading arbitrary external modules. ai
semgrep semgrep:env-bulk-read AI (semgrep): Reading npm_config_* env vars is the standard npm build tool pattern for inheriting npm configuration; benign and expected. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:request AI (dependencies): request@2 is used to download NW.js headers/binaries; well-known library, expected usage for a build tool. ai
