High risk — review carefully before installing

This package can run commands on your computer AND reads your secret tokens. That combination means it could potentially steal your credentials. Only install this if you trust the author and understand why it needs these permissions.

What We Found(39 issues)

Each card explains what was found and what it means in plain English. Click "Technical details" for the full breakdown.

HIGHHIGH-001

Caution. This package can turn any text into running code. A bad actor could trick it into running harmful commands on your computer. Legitimate tools almost never need this.

Technical details

eval() executes arbitrary strings as code. In an MCP context, this could allow prompt injection to escalate into code execution.

Suspicious. 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.

Suspicious. This package loads code from an unknown location decided at runtime. We can't tell what it will actually run because it depends on a variable. This makes it harder to verify the package is safe.

Technical details

Dynamic require/import with variable arguments loads code determined at runtime. This can be used to load payloads that static analysis can't detect.
