Manifest Codeless Dependency Stub: package ships no JS/TS source but declares 8 dependency(ies) (0 with loose/empty version specs) — dependency-confusion / install-chain loader shape

Why this verdict

PkgRadar discounts a release’s score when public reputation argues against novel malware. The verdict above already reflects these — the panel just explains what was applied.

Versions published: 9,035Mature · −50% score
First published: Mar 2021
Publisher: codecademy-eng

Effective trust discount applied: −50% (max across signals — discounts don’t stack). New install-lifecycle deltas vs the previous release would clear the discount.

Mixed signals: the package has indicators worth reading before allowing the update in automated dependency flows.
