process.env.BRAVE_API_KEYSuspicious. This package downloads code from paste sites or raw URLs instead of using normal package managers. This is a common trick to sneak in malicious code that doesn't show up in the package itself.
Technical details
Network requests to paste sites or raw GitHub content may indicate payload downloading. Legitimate dependencies use npm, not pastebins.
