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.
