Supply chain provenance

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.

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

Source	Rule	Reason	Accepted by	When
semgrep	semgrep:etc-passwd-access	AI (semgrep): Package's explicit purpose is reading /etc/passwd to resolve UIDs to usernames; not credential harvesting.	ai	2026/05/21
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-import	AI (semgrep): Used in darwin.js to query macOS user info; consistent with the package's documented purpose.	ai	2026/05/21

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.
