Aivuda AppStore packaged for pip installation and PyPI publishing.

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package exhibits several risky behaviors including potential credential mishandling and obfuscation techniques, which raise concerns about its legitimacy and safety.

  • Potential credential risk due to insecure handling
  • Use of obfuscation techniques that may serve malicious purposes
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal unless the package should be making them.
  • Shell: Shell execution is present and could be legitimate if the package requires building UI assets, but it may also indicate potential risks like executing arbitrary commands.
  • Obfuscation: The use of base64 encoding and partial code suggests potential obfuscation, but could also be part of normal cryptographic operations.
  • Credentials: Direct use of getpass for password input without secure handling indicates risk of credential exposure or misuse.
  • Metadata: The package shows low maintainer activity and poor metadata quality, raising some suspicion but not definitive evidence of malice.
