Risk analysis

better-sqlite3 is flagged HIGH risk due to rapid adoption with limited publisher depth. New packages with fast growth are higher-risk targets.

Publisher depth — How many people can push to npm? Single-publisher packages are the #1 structural risk.
Longevity — Older packages have track records. New packages with high adoption are higher risk.
Release consistency — Regular releases signal active oversight. Long gaps mean unpatched vulnerabilities.
Download trend — Growing packages attract more scrutiny (and more attacks).
OpenSSF Scorecard — Process security: branch protection, code review, CI/CD safety.
Build provenance — Published versions linked to specific CI runs via SLSA attestation.
Staged publishing — Human approval gate between npm publish and going live.
