v0.1.0 suspicious
5.0
Medium Risk

A graphic user interface program to work with abc notation.

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows some legitimate signs of being a GUI tool but raises concerns due to recent repository creation and minimal maintainer activity.

  • Shell risk at 3/10 due to unverified shell executions.
  • Metadata risk at 7/10 due to recent repository creation and limited maintainer history.
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls were detected, which is normal and does not indicate any risk.
  • Shell: The shell executions observed seem to be related to GUI operations and updating system databases, which could be expected for a GUI editor but should be reviewed further to ensure legitimacy.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: The repository was created recently with minimal activity and the maintainer has limited history, indicating potential risk.
