🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows high risk due to potential credential harvesting attempts through file access and low metadata credibility due to lack of maintainer information and activity metrics.

  • Credential risk due to suspicious file access
  • Low metadata credibility with no maintainer information
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal unless the package requires internet access for its functionality.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns detected, indicating the package does not execute system commands.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected in the code snippet.
  • Credentials: The presence of paths like '../etc/passwd' and '/etc/passwd' suggests potential attempts to access sensitive files, indicating a risk of credential harvesting.
  • Metadata: The repository is new with no activity metrics and lacks maintainer details, raising suspicion.
