Medium Risk

Microsoft Azure Monitor Opentelemetry Exporter Client Library for Python

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

While the package appears legitimate with low risks for network, obfuscation, and credential harvesting, the high shell risk score suggests potential unauthorized modifications or access. Further investigation is warranted.

  • High shell risk
  • No clear indication of malicious intent
  • Potential supply-chain attack
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: The network calls appear to be test requests and a legitimate check to Azure's official site, which is not indicative of malicious activity.
  • Shell: The shell execution pattern detected seems incomplete and suspicious, possibly indicating unauthorized access or modification attempts.
  • Obfuscation: The observed pattern is a common method for extending module search paths and is not indicative of malicious activity.
  • Credentials: No patterns indicating credential harvesting were detected.
  • Metadata: The author has only one package, suggesting a new or less active account, but no other red flags are present.
