No verification record available.
The package is not malware, but contains a significant security vulnerability. The evidence points to a hardcoded IP address and port (168.63.76.32:3128) within an example in the README.md file. While the YARA rules flag this as suspicious (Evidence 0 and 1), the LLM analysis (Evidence 2) provides crucial context. The LLM correctly identifies this as a hardcoded proxy server address in an example, not as malicious code itself. The risk is that if the proxy server at that IP address is compromised or malicious, any application using this package with the default configuration would unknowingly route its traffic through it. This is a vulnerability in the package's example configuration, not a malicious intent within the core functionality of the package. The project's GitHub presence (973 stars, 248 forks) suggests a reasonably established and visible project, reducing the likelihood of malicious intent. The lack of SLSA provenance information is a minor concern but doesn't definitively indicate malice, especially given the project's visibility. In conclusion, the package itself is not malicious, but its default example configuration presents a significant security risk that should be addressed by updating the documentation to strongly advise against using the hardcoded proxy and illustrating the use of environment variables or other secure configuration methods.
