Dependency Autopsy

Publisher description

Current runtime: this plugin runs unsandboxed with MacCrab's access. Any sandbox wording in the publisher's signed description below reflects an earlier design. The access disclosure on this page describes the current execution path.

Trace a selected npm project's package-lock v2/v3 declarations through bounded dependency chains, then review currently readable installed manifests and supported lifecycle entries. Literal single-interpreter script references can identify and hash an assessed regular file. Lock declarations, installed files and imported execution claims remain separate evidence. The collector never invokes npm, package code, subprocesses or the network.

Optional supplied execution records match only when the selected project, script path and assessed SHA-256 agree. Their authenticity and historical file identity are unverified; a match does not establish execution ancestry or causality. Raw script commands, arguments, URLs and source contents are withheld.

Workspaces, aliases, caches, hidden lockfiles, registry integrity, install history, effective npm policy and other package managers are outside this version. Missing manifests remain lock-only evidence; unsupported, unreachable and mismatched records remain coverage gaps.

Select current-user sources and review findings in MacCrab 1.22.3. Missing or invalid selection reads no evidence. Sensitive results require an encrypted scan. Bounded reads refuse symlinks; missing, unsupported and over-limit inputs remain coverage gaps. First-party plugins inherit host access; manifest capabilities are declarations, not an independent OS sandbox.

What it reads

Publisher-declared sources for this catalog entry. This list describes intended collection; it does not confine an unsandboxed plugin's file access. The published app's install screen may show older static descriptions rather than the publisher declarations shown here.

• Explicitly selected current-user sources

Access and output privacy

Declared privacy requirements and the current execution path. Output classification describes what the plugin emits; it is separate from the files its process can read.

• Declared macOS access No privacy services listed
• Declared output Content data — requires an encrypted scan
• Runtime Trusted, unsandboxed process. MacCrab validates its Developer ID signature before execution. It inherits the host's privileges, including available Full Disk Access.
• Network The first-party execution path does not enforce an outbound-network block. A publisher's declaration of no network use is a behavior claim.

Verification for v0.1.0

Release checks recorded on 2026-09-28. These are the catalog's records for this version; this page does not perform a new independent build or collection test.

Source rebuild not applicable: this first-party entry does not publish a source repository for independent rebuilding. You can verify the publisher signature and pinned artifact digests against trusted keys. A recorded maintainer rebuild check does not provide independent source verification.

Revocation status comes from the signature-verified revocation list (serial 2), issued 2026-07-26. The website checks it during its build; MacCrab checks its own verified list when installing. The issue date does not describe the client's last successful fetch.

No revocation for v0.1.0 is recorded in that list.

Verify the signatures, artifact digests, and revocation list yourself.

Versions

Historical vetting is retained even when a release is revoked. “Current” identifies the version selected by the catalog.
