🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows significant risks due to its network and shell execution behaviors, especially given the short history and lack of comprehensive documentation.

  • High shell risk due to uncontrolled execution of external commands.
  • Medium network risk as it downloads external files without clear documentation.
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: The network call pattern suggests the package might download external files which could be benign if documented, but raises concerns without clear documentation.
  • Shell: The shell execution pattern indicates the package runs external commands, potentially risky if not controlled properly, increasing suspicion of potential misuse.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious intent.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating safe handling of secrets.
  • Metadata: The recent creation of the repository and package, along with the short activity window, raise suspicion.
