Files reviewed
| File | Verdict | What the reviewer saw |
|---|---|---|
| build/cjs/binary.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; this is a legitimate socket.io binary packet serialization/deserialization module with no network, filesystem, process, or credential access. |
| build/cjs/index.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; this is a legitimate socket.io-parser module with standard encoding/decoding logic. |
| build/cjs/is-binary.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| build/esm-debug/binary.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the code implements standard binary attachment deconstruction/reconstruction for socket.io packets without network, filesystem, process, or dynamic execution behavior. |
| build/esm-debug/index.js | safe | This is the standard socket.io-parser packet encoding/decoding library with no malicious patterns such as data exfiltration, credential harvesting, code execution, or install-time hooks. |
| build/esm-debug/is-binary.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
| build/esm/binary.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; the code implements standard binary attachment deconstruction/reconstruction for socket.io packets without network, filesystem, process, or dynamic execution behavior. |
| build/esm/index.js | safe | This is the standard socket.io-parser package for encoding/decoding Socket.IO protocol packets, with no malicious patterns such as data exfiltration, credential harvesting, code execution, or network/file system manipulation beyond its intended protocol parsing role. |
| build/esm/is-binary.js | safe | Cleared by Jev triage; no further analysis needed |
