Supply chain provenance
Status for the latest visible version.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): New publisher aryamohanan is a named contributor (IBM email) in package.json; consistent with internal team transition. | ai | |
| typosquat | typosquat.levenshtein:cors | AI (typosquat): Scoped IBM/Instana APM package; no resemblance to 'cors' in purpose or namespace. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:dynamic-require | AI (semgrep): Plugin/metrics module loader pattern; stable across versions of this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:base64-decode | AI (semgrep): Decoding AWS Lambda ClientContext per AWS SDK contract; not malicious payload handling. | ai |

v6.1.1
1 findingPackage was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
v6.1.0
2 findingsPackage was published without Sigstore provenance. Consider requesting the maintainer enable provenance via CI/CD.
This version was published by a different npm account (instana_tracers) than the most recent previously approved version (aryamohanan) on 2026-05-27, but instana_tracers is listed as a maintainer on prior approved versions (matched on name). This looks like a manual publish by a known maintainer rather than a publisher change. Recorded as INFO for audit trail.
