🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package has moderate risks due to its recent creation, high metadata risk, and potential shell execution without proper sanitization.

  • High metadata risk due to recent suspicious activity.
  • Potential shell execution risk.
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal unless the package is expected to communicate with external services.
  • Shell: The presence of shell execution suggests potential runtime command execution, which could be risky if not properly sanitized or controlled.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious intent.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk of secret theft.
  • Metadata: High risk due to recent and suspicious repository activity, single contributor, and brand new package.
