Security audit

Every finding is shown in full — which advisory, the version that fixes it, and the exact command run at install time. Nothing in this audit is behind a licence.

No known advisoriesclearchecked against OSV for 1.94.0 — this package, not its dependency tree

6 vulnerable dependenciesinstalls[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] — GHSA-73rr-hh4g-fpgx, GHSA-ggr8-5vv4-36mx · found by resolving all 565 packages this installs and querying OSV at the version each resolves to, not by name

No access inferred from declared dependenciesnothing it depends on reaches files, shell or network. This reads declarations only — built-in APIs are invisible to it, so absence of a declaration is not absence of access
