  • Network risk due to external URL interactions
  • Low activity from the maintainer on PyPI
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: The package makes network calls to various URLs which could indicate legitimate functionality but also raises concerns about potential unauthorized data access or exfiltration.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns were detected.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious activity related to code obfuscation.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, suggesting the package is not engaging in suspicious behavior regarding secret or credential handling.
