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
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): open's core purpose is launching system apps/URLs via child_process; this import is fundamental to its documented functionality and not a security risk. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-spawn AI (semgrep): child_process.spawn is how open launches xdg-open/open/start cross-platform; this is the intended and documented behavior of the package. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:wsl-utils AI (dependencies): wsl-utils is a small sindresorhus-ecosystem utility for WSL detection, consistent with open's cross-platform purpose. No malicious signals. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:is-inside-container AI (dependencies): is-inside-container is a small utility for container environment detection, consistent with open's cross-platform purpose. No malicious signals. ai
provenance no-provenance AI (provenance): sindresorhus is a highly trusted publisher; lack of provenance attestation is common and not a risk signal for this package. ai
