JavaScript obfuscator

Status for the latest visible version.

No SLSA provenance npm registry signatures gitHead linked

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
dependencies	unvetted-dep:env-paths	AI (dependencies): env-paths is a well-known sindresorhus utility for OS standard paths; used here as a legitimate replacement for conf/mkdirp in path management.	ai	2026/04/24
source-diff	obfuscated-file:dist/index_debug.js	AI (source-diff): Webpack-bundled debug build of the obfuscator tool. Long lines are from bundling, not malicious obfuscation.	ai	2026/04/24
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:opencollective-postinstall	AI (phantom-deps): Referenced only in postinstall script, not imported in source. Expected pattern for opencollective integration.	ai	2026/04/24
source-diff	net-exec-file:dist/index_debug.js	AI (source-diff): A JS obfuscator tool inherently contains code-generation and eval patterns. Bundled dist file, not malicious.	ai	2026/04/24
install-scripts	install-script:postinstall	AI (install-scripts): Postinstall runs opencollective-postinstall, a benign funding message. Present across many versions of this package.	ai	2026/04/24
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:env-paths	AI (phantom-deps): env-paths is an explicit runtime dep; phantom detection is a false positive for this bundled package.	ai	2026/04/23
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:process	AI (phantom-deps): process is an explicit runtime dep used in the webpack bundle; phantom detection is a false positive for this package.	ai	2026/04/23
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:assert	AI (phantom-deps): assert is an explicit runtime dep used in the webpack bundle; phantom detection is a false positive for this package.	ai	2026/04/23
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:tslib	AI (phantom-deps): tslib is a legitimate explicit runtime dep for a TypeScript-compiled webpack bundle; phantom detection is a false positive for this package.	ai	2026/04/23

4 findings

HIGH Package has 'postinstall' script install-scripts

Script: opencollective-postinstall

HIGH New obfuscated file: dist/index_debug.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: dist/index_debug.js source-diff

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