Warn

PkgFire would install this release with a warning.·Checked 2 hours ago·Published 18 July 2026

Why

  • warnInstall script added

    The install script is new or changed since 1.0.0-alpha.1: install "cross-env ZERO_AR_DATE=1 node-gyp-build". A release that starts running code on install is how event-stream, ua-parser-js and the 2025 npm worms spread. It was already installed before this scan.

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.

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.
