🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows low risks in terms of network calls, shell executions, obfuscation, and credential handling. However, the metadata risk score is high due to the recent creation of the repository and lack of maintainer history, which raises concerns about its legitimacy.

  • High metadata risk due to recent repository creation
  • Lack of maintainer history
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal.
  • Shell: Shell execution is present but appears to be related to file operations and command-line utilities, which could be legitimate depending on the package's functionality.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: The recent creation of the repository and package, along with the lack of maintainer history, indicates potential risk.
