Js Split Join Obfuscation: Array-of-single-tokens joined to form a string — used to obscure module names like require(["n","o","de",":","cr","yp","to"].join("")), defeating static require() analysis.

Trust signals

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.

Weekly downloads: 8,138Niche · −30% score
Versions published: 1,047Mature · −50% score
First published: Oct 2022
Publisher: GitHub ActionsTrusted automation · −70% score

Effective trust discount applied: −70% (max across signals — discounts don’t stack). New install-lifecycle deltas vs the previous release would clear the discount.
