The package is not classified as malware. The YARA rule match js_hex_obfuscation in a test file is not sufficient evidence.
No verification record available.
The package google.golang.org/protobuf version 1.36.11 is not classified as malware based on the provided evidence. The only evidence is a YARA rule match js_hex_obfuscation in pack_test.go. This rule signals javascript function obfuscation using hex. However, this is a Go package, and the file in question is a test file. While obfuscation can be a sign of malicious intent, it's not uncommon in test files to generate specific, potentially complex data structures or values, which might resemble obfuscation. Given the low confidence of the YARA rule match and the context of a test file in a protobuf library, it is not sufficient to classify this package as malware.
