Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
publish-pattern rapid-publish AI (publish-pattern): CI-driven multi-arch release cadence; normal for @pnpm/exe. ai
vendored-integrity tampered-vendored-dep:dist/node_modules/graceful-fs AI (vendored-integrity): pnpm bundles a patched graceful-fs; single-file diff is stable and benign for this package. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:dist/worker.js AI (source-diff): Bundled worker for the pnpm CLI; net+exec is intrinsic. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:dist/pnpm.mjs AI (source-diff): Package manager legitimately performs network+require in bundled CLI. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:dist/pnpm.mjs AI (source-diff): esbuild-bundled pnpm CLI output, not obfuscation; stable across releases. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@reflink/reflink AI (phantom-deps): Used dynamically via import.meta.resolve in setup.js, not a static import. ai
source-diff encoded-string-file:dist/pnpm.mjs AI (source-diff): Long base64 string is llhttp WASM payload embedded in undici; standard pattern in pnpm's bundled dist. ai
publish-pattern new-deps-added AI (publish-pattern): New deps are legitimate pnpm functionality (reflink support, libc detection); SLSA provenance confirms CI-published artifact. ai
source-diff large-new-source-files AI (source-diff): Major version bump bundles additional tooling; expected for this artifact package. ai
source-diff source-size-tripled AI (source-diff): pnpm/exe bundles the full pnpm CLI; large size is expected and consistent with the package's purpose. ai
npm-metadata bundled-binaries AI (npm-metadata): fastlist EXEs are documented pnpm tooling for Windows process listing; stable artifact for this package. ai
install-scripts install-script:preinstall AI (install-scripts): Documented platform-binary selector for pnpm's official exe package; stable across all versions. ai
typosquat typosquat.levenshtein:next AI (typosquat): Scoped @pnpm/ package; not a typosquat of 'next'. Levenshtein match is spurious. ai

v11.17.0

2 findings
HIGH Modified vendored dependency: dist/node_modules/graceful-fs (1 file(s)) vendored-integrity

The directory `dist/node_modules/graceful-fs` byte-matched 5 of 6 file(s) against [email protected] — a version that passed review and that we hold in storage — which identifies it as a vendored copy of that package. But 1 file(s) inside it differ from that package's bytes at the same path: dist/node_modules/graceful-fs/graceful-fs.js. A vendored library that is a faithful copy except for a handful of altered files is a well-worn supply-chain shape — the surrounding real code lends the tree legitimacy while the altered files carry the payload. These files are NOT exempt from any authorship heuristic; diff them against [email protected] before greenflagging.

INFO Has SLSA provenance attestation provenance

Published via CI/CD with Sigstore attestation (predicate: https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1). This is the strongest supply chain integrity signal.

v11.16.0

5 findings
HIGH New obfuscated file: dist/pnpm.mjs source-diff

Newly added source file contains lines over 3000 chars, suggesting minified or obfuscated code. New obfuscated files are a strong attack indicator.

HIGH New file with network + code execution: dist/pnpm.mjs source-diff

Newly added file contains both network calls and dynamic code execution. This is a hallmark of dropper/loader malware.

HIGH New file with network + code execution: dist/worker.js source-diff

Newly added file contains both network calls and dynamic code execution. This is a hallmark of dropper/loader malware.

HIGH Modified vendored dependency: dist/node_modules/graceful-fs (1 file(s)) vendored-integrity

v11.14.0

1 finding
INFO Has SLSA provenance attestation provenance

Published via CI/CD with Sigstore attestation (predicate: https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1). This is the strongest supply chain integrity signal.

v11.12.0

2 findings
INFO Has SLSA provenance attestation provenance

Published via CI/CD with Sigstore attestation (predicate: https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1). This is the strongest supply chain integrity signal.

INFO Publisher changed: pnpmuser → GitHub Actions (on 2026-07-11, now via trusted publisher with provenance) provenance

This version was published by a different npm account (GitHub Actions) than the most recent previously approved version (pnpmuser) on 2026-07-11, but it carries Sigstore provenance attestation. This means the package moved to a trusted publisher (CI/CD with OIDC, e.g. GitHub Actions) — a supply-chain integrity improvement, not a compromise, since a stolen npm token cannot forge provenance bound to the source repository. Recorded as INFO for audit trail.

v11.11.0

1 finding
INFO Has SLSA provenance attestation provenance

Published via CI/CD with Sigstore attestation (predicate: https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1). This is the strongest supply chain integrity signal.

v10.34.5

2 findings
HIGH Provenance attestation missing — previous versions had it provenance

This version was published without provenance, but prior versions were published via CI/CD with attestations. This is a strong signal of a potential account compromise or unauthorized publish. The axios attack (March 2026) exhibited exactly this pattern.

INFO Publisher changed: GitHub Actions → pnpmuser (on 2026-07-10, known maintainer) provenance

This version was published by a different npm account (pnpmuser) than the most recent previously approved version (GitHub Actions) on 2026-07-10, but pnpmuser 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.

v10.0.0

1 finding
LOW No provenance attestation provenance

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