Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
typosquat typosquat.levenshtein:pino AI (typosquat): 'ping' is a legitimate, 14-year-old package name for an OS ping wrapper — not a typo of 'pino'. Coincidental Levenshtein proximity; stable false positive for this package. ai
typosquat typosquat.levenshtein:pg AI (typosquat): 'ping' is a legitimate, independent package name unrelated to 'pg'. 2-edit distance match is coincidental; stable false positive for this package. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): This package is explicitly a wrapper for the OS ping command; child_process import is the core mechanism and expected for all versions. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-spawn AI (semgrep): cp.spawn() is used to invoke the system ping executable — the entire purpose of this library. Expected and stable across all versions. ai
