🤖 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.
