No SLSA provenance

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.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| semgrep | semgrep:hex-decode | AI (semgrep): Hex decoding in sshpk is used exclusively for embedding well-known NIST elliptic curve parameters as constants in lib/algs.js. This is standard cryptographic library practice, not obfuscation. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:base64-decode | AI (semgrep): Base64 decoding in sshpk is used for handling SSH signatures and keys, which is core functionality of this cryptographic library. No malicious payload risk. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:getpass | AI (phantom-deps): getpass is used by CLI binaries in ./bin, not the library code. Phantom-dep detection doesn't account for bin-only usage. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:dashdash | AI (phantom-deps): dashdash is used by CLI binaries in ./bin for argument parsing. Phantom-dep detection doesn't account for bin-only usage. | ai |

provenance
Package was published without Sigstore provenance. Only ~12% of npm packages have provenance, so this is common but not ideal.
