Why

  • blockRelease suspect

    PkgFire reviewed this release when it was published and compared it with 12.22.8. It has the shape of a hijacked release. It stays blocked until the PkgFire operator has checked it; if you have checked it yourself, add the package to Always allow. Files 12.22.8 also shipped gained what they did not have there: network access (scripts/download-wda.mjs). The package could already do this elsewhere; code injected into an existing file looks like this, and so does a refactor. Its code calls registry.npmjs.org, which 12.22.8's code did not call.

Provenance

A registry signature proves the registry served these bytes unaltered. Build provenance proves which workflow built them from which commit; a stolen publishing token can fake the first but not the second.

What the code does

On its own this is weak signal: plenty of honest libraries read files or talk to the network. What PkgFire watches is a release gaining something the one before it did not.

Code reading

PkgFire's own reading of the files: what the code can do.

Check every dependency before it installs

This page is one release. PkgFire checks every package in your lockfile, on every install and in every pull request, and blocks the bad ones before they run.
