Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows potential network risk due to internet file downloads, but lacks other typical malicious indicators. However, its novelty and lack of maintainer history increase suspicion.

  • Network risk due to internet file downloads
  • Very new package with limited maintainer history
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: The use of urllib.request.urlretrieve indicates the package downloads files from the internet, which could be legitimate if it's for downloading necessary resources like OCR models.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns detected, indicating no direct system command execution risk.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: The package is very new with limited maintainer history and no associated GitHub repository, raising suspicion.
