3 findings
HIGH Complete maintainer takeover detected maintainer-change

All previous maintainers (dcousens) were replaced by new maintainers (fanatid, jprichardson, junderw). This is a strong signal of a potential package hijack and requires careful review.

HIGH Publisher changed: dcousens → junderw (on 2023-08-29) provenance

This version was published by a different npm account than previous versions on 2023-08-29. This could indicate a legitimate maintainer transition or an account compromise.

LOW No provenance attestation provenance

Package was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
