It does not specify exact versions, cryptographic hashes, signed artifacts, a lockfile, or another reproducible verification mechanism. The project contains only documentation and metadata; it does not include the source code of the installed `tandemn-tuna` command or provider dependencies. Consequently, the effective executable behavior cannot be verified from the audited artifact.

- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Pin every direct package to an exact, reviewed version rather than accepting the latest available release. 2. Provide a lockfile that records all resolved transitive dependency versions. 3. Require cryptographic hashes for downloaded artifacts, such as through a hash-locked requirements file. 4. Verify package signatures or release provenance where supported and document the canonical source repository and publisher identity. 5. Generate and publish a software bill of materials for the complete dependency graph. 6. Review dependency updates before changing pinned versions and use automated vulnerability and package-integrity scanning. 7. Install and execute deployment tooling in an isolated virtual environment or container under a non-privileged operating-system account. 8. Authenticate with dedicated, least-privilege cloud identities scoped only to the resources and operations required for deployment. 9. Avoid exposing unrelated credentials to the installation or execution environment, and rotate relevant credentials if package integrity is ever in doubt.
