Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows low risk in terms of network activity, shell execution, obfuscation, and credential harvesting. However, the high metadata risk due to the lack of historical data and absence of a related GitHub repository raises suspicion about potential supply-chain risks.

  • High metadata risk
  • Lack of historical data
  • No associated GitHub repository
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal if the package does not require external communications.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns detected, indicating the package does not execute system commands without explicit user interaction.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: High risk due to new package with no history and no associated GitHub repo.
