RGBMatrixEmulator

v0.17.0 suspicious
4.0
Medium Risk

A PC emulator for Raspberry Pi LED matrices driven by rpi-rgb-led-matrix

πŸ€– AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package has minimal risks associated with network calls and obfuscation but raises concerns due to potential misuse of shell commands and metadata inconsistencies.

  • Shell risk due to use of shell commands
  • Metadata risk due to new/inactive maintainer account
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls were detected, which is normal for this type of package.
  • Shell: The shell commands detected are likely intended to adjust terminal window size and clear the screen, which seems consistent with the emulator's purpose but could pose a minor risk if misused.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious activity.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, suggesting no immediate risk to stored secrets.
  • Metadata: The maintainer has a new or inactive account and lacks a proper author name, raising some suspicion but not conclusive evidence of malice.
