🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package exhibits significant network and shell execution risks, suggesting potential for supply-chain attacks. However, there is no evidence of obfuscation, credential harvesting, or other direct malicious activities.

High network risk due to external URL calls
High shell risk due to potential system modifications

Per-check LLM notes

Network: The presence of network calls to external URLs suggests potential data exfiltration or C2 activities.
Shell: Executing shell commands can indicate attempts to modify the system environment or install additional software, which might be indicative of malicious behavior.
Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
Metadata: The package has a non-secure external link and the maintainer has only one package, which may indicate a new or less active account.

💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with abxpkg

Create a command-line utility named 'SysPkgManager' using Python that leverages the 'abxpkg' package to manage system packages in a type-safe manner. This utility should allow users to perform common package management tasks such as installing, upgrading, removing, and listing packages available on their system. Additionally, the utility should provide functionality to check if a specific package is installed, show detailed information about a package, and handle dependencies automatically during installation processes.

Key Features:
1. Install a package: Accepts a package name as input and installs it using the underlying system package manager, ensuring all dependencies are resolved and installed first.
2. Upgrade a package: Takes a package name and upgrades it to the latest version available.
3. Remove a package: Deletes a specified package along with its configurations and dependencies.
4. List all installed packages: Displays a list of all currently installed packages on the system.
5. Check package status: Verifies if a given package is installed and prints its current version.
6. Detailed package info: Shows comprehensive details about a specified package including version, size, dependencies, and any other relevant information.
7. Dependency resolution: Automatically resolves and installs any missing dependencies when installing or upgrading a package.

How to Utilize 'abxpkg':
- Use 'abxpkg' to interface with the system package manager, providing type hints for inputs and outputs to ensure robustness and safety.
- Leverage the package's capabilities to query the package database, install packages, remove packages, and more.
- Ensure all operations are performed safely and efficiently by utilizing 'abxpkg's type hints and error handling mechanisms.

Your task is to design and implement this utility, ensuring it is user-friendly, efficient, and adheres to best coding practices.
