## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed attack surface beyond normal runtime Base58 codec initialization. No install-time hooks or network/file operations are present.

- **Trigger:** Consumer imports the package.

- **Impact:** No malicious behavior established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/cjs/index.cjs, src/esm/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T06:20:04.769Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Creates a Base58 encoder/decoder from a fixed alphabet.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection shows a minimal Base58 wrapper with no lifecycle execution or suspicious capabilities. Static hints referencing repository URLs and a CommonJS require are package-aligned metadata and dependency loading.

- **Files touched:** package.json, src/cjs/index.cjs, src/esm/index.js, README.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., Entrypoints only import base65-15x and instantiate it with a fixed Base58 alphabet., No filesystem, environment, network, shell, eval, or persistence behavior was found in package source.

## Public findings
