Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| source-diff | net-exec-file:extension/axe-versions/[email protected]/axe.min.js | AI (source-diff): axe.min.js is the canonical Deque axe-core accessibility engine; bundling it in the extension directory is expected for this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:obfuscation-while-true | AI (semgrep): Fires in extension/background.js — browser extension background scripts routinely use javascript-obfuscator; stable for this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:obfuscation-hex-functions | AI (semgrep): Same extension/background.js context; hex-prefixed names are javascript-obfuscator output for the bundled browser extension. | ai |
v4.3.0
2 findings
HIGH
New file with network + code execution: extension/axe-versions/[email protected]/axe.min.js
source-diff
Newly added file contains both network calls and dynamic code execution. This is a hallmark of dropper/loader malware.
LOW
No provenance attestation
provenance
Package was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
