AI Analysis
Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS
The package has low risks in terms of network calls, shell execution, obfuscation, and credential handling, but its newness and lack of historical activity increase the suspicion level.
- Minimal package activity and no history
- Potential supply-chain attack due to new package
Per-check LLM notes
- Network: No network calls detected, which is normal and does not indicate any risk.

- Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
- Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
- Metadata: The package is newly created with minimal activity and no history, raising suspicion.
