Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| provenance | no-provenance | AI (provenance): Package predates Sigstore provenance on npm by years; absence of attestation is expected and not a risk signal for this well-established package. | ai | |
| install-scripts | install-script:install | AI (install-scripts): electron-prebuilt's install script downloads prebuilt Electron binaries — this is the package's core documented purpose and stable across all versions. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-removed | AI (maintainer-change): Maintainer removals reflect a documented consolidation under the electron npm org; not a takeover. Publisher has 2528 approved packages and 0 rejected. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): kevinsawicki is a known Electron core contributor; this addition is a legitimate maintainer transition within the electron-userland org. | ai | |
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): Transition from maxogden to kevinsawicki is a known legitimate maintainer handoff within the electron-userland org; kevinsawicki is a well-established Electron core contributor. | ai | |
| install-scripts | install-script:postinstall | AI (install-scripts): electron-prebuilt's postinstall runs node install.js to download prebuilt Electron binaries — this is the package's core documented purpose and has been stable across 125 versions. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-spawn | AI (semgrep): proc.spawn in cli.js launches the Electron binary; this is the intended CLI launcher behavior, not a security concern. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): child_process is used in cli.js solely to spawn the Electron binary with user args — the expected behavior of a CLI launcher package. | ai |
