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
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): dynamic require() is intentional here — the package accepts a packagePath option so callers can supply their own package.json path. This is the documented API, not a security risk. ai
provenance no-provenance AI (provenance): Established package from a trusted publisher; lack of Sigstore provenance is common and not a risk signal for this package. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:dist/index.js AI (source-diff): dist/index.js is an esbuild bundle of src/index.js as declared in the build script. The 'obfuscation' is standard esbuild runtime boilerplate, not malicious code. Stable for this package. ai
source-diff source-size-tripled AI (source-diff): Size increase is due to bundling former runtime deps (debug, update-notifier, word-wrap) into the esbuild dist output. Legitimate refactor, stable for this package. ai

HIGH New obfuscated file: dist/index.js source-diff

Newly added source file contains lines over 3000 chars, suggesting minified or obfuscated code. New obfuscated files are a strong attack indicator.
