🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows some unusual characteristics that warrant further investigation, particularly the use of shell commands for version control and the lack of detailed author information.

  • Shell risk due to git commands
  • Metadata risk due to newness and sparse author details
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected.
  • Shell: Git commands suggest version control operations which may be part of development practices but could potentially be misused.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: The repository and package are very new, the maintainer has limited history, and author details are sparse, indicating potential risks.
