No SLSA provenance npm registry signatures No source commit

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
source-diff source-size-tripled AI (source-diff): zlib is a native C/C++ addon; large source size increases are expected as native binding source files (C/C++, build configs) are much larger than JS wrappers. Stable pattern for this package. ai
license uncommon-license:BSD AI (license): BSD is a well-known permissive license; the uncommon-license flag is a false positive for this package. ai
typosquat typosquat.levenshtein:glob AI (typosquat): 'zlib' is the canonical name for the zlib compression library, not a typosquat of 'glob'. The Levenshtein match is coincidental; this package is 15 years old with 400k+ weekly downloads. ai
install-scripts install-script:preinstall AI (install-scripts): node-waf configure build is the standard native addon build step for early Node.js C/C++ bindings; stable for this package. ai
bogus-package bogus-package AI (bogus-package): Native addon: main is ./lib/zlib (compiled), no npm deps expected, no keywords typical for vintage packages. ai
