AI Analysis
Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS
The package exhibits high credential risk due to suspicious file path access, and incomplete metadata raises concerns about the maintainer's legitimacy.
- High credential risk from '/../../etc/passwd' access
- Incomplete and potentially unreliable maintainer information
Per-check LLM notes
- Network: No network calls detected, which is normal and expected.
- Shell: The use of subprocess.run with 'git' commands suggests the package might be performing version control operations internally, which could be legitimate if it's related to package management or development purposes.
- Obfuscation: No signs of obfuscation detected.
- Credentials: Suspicious file path access to "/../../etc/passwd" indicates potential unauthorized credential harvesting.
- Metadata: The author's information is incomplete and the maintainer seems to be new or inactive, which raises some suspicion but not enough to conclude malice.
