Plugin marketplace for the Agent Governance Toolkit — discover, install, verify, and manage plugins

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package exhibits significant obfuscation techniques which may be used to hide malicious activities. While there is no direct evidence of harmful intent, the incomplete metadata and potential network risks raise concerns about its safety.

  • High obfuscation risk through XOR operations and dynamic imports
  • Incomplete author information and potential network risks
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: The use of urllib to open URLs is common for downloading artifacts but could indicate potential risks if the URLs are controlled by an external party.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns were detected.
  • Obfuscation: The use of XOR operation on base64 decoded data and dynamic imports suggests potential obfuscation to hide code logic.
  • Credentials: No clear patterns of credential harvesting detected.
  • Metadata: The author's information is incomplete and the maintainer seems new or inactive, raising some suspicion but not conclusive evidence of malice.
