Files reviewed
| File | Verdict | What the reviewer saw |
|---|---|---|
| dist-bundle/index.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the code implements standard GitHub token authentication logic without exfiltration, credential harvesting, obfuscation, or network/file/process manipulation. |
| dist-src/auth.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| dist-src/hook.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the hook function simply merges route parameters and attaches an authorization header before dispatching the request. |
| dist-src/index.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the code is a legitimate authentication token handler from @octokit/auth-token that only validates and normalizes tokens before binding them to auth and hook functions. |
| dist-src/is-jwt.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| dist-src/with-authorization-prefix.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
