Files reviewed
| File | Verdict | What the reviewer saw |
|---|---|---|
| dist/commonjs/assert-valid-pattern.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| dist/commonjs/ast.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| dist/commonjs/brace-expressions.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the file is a pure string-parsing utility for glob/brace expression translation with no network, filesystem, process, or dynamic code execution behavior. |
| dist/commonjs/escape.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| dist/commonjs/index.js | safe | This is the legitimate minimatch library implementation with no malicious patterns, data exfiltration, dynamic code execution, or suspicious behavior detected. |
| dist/commonjs/unescape.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the code only performs string replacement for path/brace unescaping and does not access environment variables, execute dynamic code, perform network requests, or touch the filesystem. |
| dist/esm/assert-valid-pattern.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| dist/esm/ast.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| dist/esm/brace-expressions.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| dist/esm/escape.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| dist/esm/index.js | safe | Minimatch glob matching library contains no malicious patterns; it only performs string/regex parsing and imports from its own sibling modules. |
| dist/esm/unescape.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
