# Is `npm:execa` safe to install? (snapshot)

**This page is a snapshot, not clearance, and not a safety guarantee.**
Advisories, registry data and KarmaDue answers change.
**Recheck live immediately before you install.** Do not treat `no_known_issues` or a missing record as approval.

- Captured at: 2026-11-12 2:20:58 AM EST (`2026-11-12T02:20:58.175735-05:00`)
- Target: `npm:execa`
- Ecosystem: `npm`
- Package: `execa`
- Decision: `no_known_issues`
- Enforce: `proceed_with_care`
- Headline: No advisories or malicious-package reports cover execa@10.2.1 (231,830,978 downloads last week). Go ahead with normal care.

## Sources in this snapshot

- checked: npm registry: package exists
- checked: npm usage and publisher: 231,830,978 downloads last week, publisher "sindresorhus"
- checked: OSV advisories and OpenSSF malicious-package reports for execa@10.2.1
- checked: npm status of execa@10.2.1: not deprecated, published 2026-10-23
- checked: OSV advisory history for execa (all versions)

## Gaps (what was not checked)

- no KarmaDue catalog passport for this package; check_install holds a founder-operated record for it: kd-seed-264 (tested 2026-10-18; Founder-operated assessment, not independent). That record is not independent and not a safety review
- behaviour at run time is never observed by this check

## Recheck live before install

Safety MCP (streamable HTTP, no account):

`https://ogogoizwsfaduzehkshb.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp/safety`

One-line MCP call:

    check {"target":"npm:execa","action":"install"}

curl:

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://ogogoizwsfaduzehkshb.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp/safety \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'X-KD-Via: kd-founder-test' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"check","arguments":{"target":"npm:execa","action":"install"}}}'
```

This snapshot was produced with the header `X-KD-Via: kd-founder-test` so KarmaDue can exclude founder test traffic from usage counts when that tagging is in place. You do not need that header.
