What is this about

Authenticode is Microsoft’s code-signing mechanism which allows identifying the publisher of executables (binaries or Powershell scripts).

This module wraps the Powershell cmdlet Get-Authenticode to return information about signatures of executable files to Node.JS.

import { getAuthenticode, SignatureStatus } from 'authenticode'
 
async function isSigned(path: string): Promise<boolean> {
  const { Status } = await getAuthenticode(path)
  return Status === SignatureStatus.Valid
}
