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

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: 9,120Niche · −30% score
Versions published: 225Mature · −50% score
First published: Feb 2018
Publisher: kikobeats

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

Recommended action

Review before promoting

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