v1.45.24 safe
3.0
Low Risk

Universal Command Line Environment for AWS.

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SAFE

The package is deemed safe as it primarily functions as a command-line interface for AWS services without any indications of malicious behavior.

  • No network or shell risks that pose immediate threats.
  • Low obfuscation and metadata risks with no signs of supply-chain attack.
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, indicating no direct external communication.
  • Shell: Detection of shell execution patterns may indicate the package performs installation or other system-specific tasks, which is not inherently malicious but requires further review to ensure legitimacy and safety.
  • Obfuscation: The observed patterns suggest legitimate use of base64 decoding and zlib decompression for handling cryptographic keys and compressed data.
  • Credentials: No suspicious patterns indicative of credential harvesting were found.
  • Metadata: The package shows some signs of potential issues with non-secure links but no other suspicious activities.
