Source: amazon-inspector (097a05ce21d55f308b754a0dfea3bc1d16b0096187cb6201926527754781fd56) Package contains two files with no a static rule matches and no traced installer-harming behavior. No lifecycle scripts, no network activity, no credential or filesystem access, and no obfuscated or fetched code paths were observed. The package name resembles placeholder or test content rather than a functional library, and the version string (0.0.0-stage) is consistent with a staging or pre-release artifact.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
