Supply chain provenance

Status for the latest visible version.

No SLSA provenance npm registry signatures No source commit

Without SLSA provenance there is no cryptographic link between this tarball and the public source, so a manually published version cannot be tied back to a reviewed commit.

Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
source-diff net-exec-file-transition:client/faye-browser.js AI (source-diff): Webpack-bundled browser client; XHR+eval-shim are normal build output for this pub/sub lib. ai
source-diff net-exec-file-transition:client/faye-browser-min.js AI (source-diff): Minified webpack bundle of the browser client; same benign build artifact. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:browser/faye-browser-min.js AI (source-diff): Pub/sub transport bundle; network+eval are legit client code. ai
semgrep semgrep:eval-usage AI (semgrep): eval in minified bundle; benign for this library. ai
source-diff net-exec-file:browser/faye-browser.js AI (source-diff): Unminified browser transport source; expected network usage. ai
source-diff obfuscated-file:browser/faye-browser-min.js AI (source-diff): Minified browser build output from wake config, not obfuscation. ai
semgrep semgrep:new-function-constructor AI (semgrep): new Function() usage is in a minified browser bundle (faye-browser-min.js), a standard webpack/bundler pattern. Not indicative of malicious behavior for this package. ai
provenance no-provenance AI (provenance): Faye is a long-established package (5605 days old) from a trusted publisher; lack of Sigstore provenance is not a meaningful risk signal here. ai

HIGH Modified file gained network + code execution: client/faye-browser-min.js source-diff

This file did not combine network calls with dynamic code execution in the previously greenflagged version, and now does. Gaining both halves in an existing file is a hallmark of a dropper/loader introduced by an update.

HIGH New obfuscated file: browser/faye-browser-min.js 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: browser/faye-browser-min.js source-diff

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