AI Analysis
Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS
The package shows moderate risk due to network and shell execution vulnerabilities, despite having low risks in credential harvesting and obfuscation. The metadata quality is poor, raising concerns about the package's legitimacy.
- High shell risk due to Popen usage
- Poor metadata quality and lack of GitHub repository
Per-check LLM notes
- Network: Network calls could be legitimate for API interactions but require scrutiny to ensure no unauthorized data transmission.
- Shell: Executing scripts via Popen is high risk as it can lead to arbitrary code execution and potential system compromise.
- Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
- Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
- Metadata: High risk due to lack of GitHub repo, single release, new maintainer account, and low metadata quality.
