Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm esbuild is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: On its face this package.json looks like the legitimate esbuild package layout: it runs a local install.js during postinstall and defines many optional platform-specific packages. The main risk is that the uninspected install.js may perform arbitrary, privileged actions (download remote binaries, execute code, add hooks, exfiltrate data, etc.). You should audit the contents of install.js (and any code it downloads or executes) before trusting installation in sensitive environments. The package.json itself does not contain obvious malicious indicators (no http:// deps, no non-registry dependency URLs, no overrides), but the postinstall hook makes it potentially risky.

Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm ssh2 is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: The code is a straightforward test runner that automatically executes local test-*.js files. The main security concern is the shell-based invocation of each test, which could allow shell interpretation if filenames are crafted maliciously despite being sourced from the local directory. Overall risk is moderate and largely depends on the trustworthiness of the test files.

Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm tsx is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: This fragment appears to be a bundler-generated bootstrap/initialization piece that imports many modules and executes an initialization function (r). No explicit malicious activity is evident within this fragment itself, but the risk stems from side effects of the imported modules on load. A careful review of the implementations of the imported modules (especially those exporting r and those performing initialization, build-time, or network/file operations) is recommended to rule out hidden telemetry, backdoors, or undesired side effects.

Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm tsx is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: No clear indicators of classic malware (no reverse shell, no network connections, no child_process usage, no hard-coded credentials). The primary risk is information leakage: the loader posts module load events and dependency paths to external consumers via p.port and O.send. In contexts where those channels are controlled by an untrusted or remote party, this could leak local file paths or project structure. The module otherwise performs expected loader duties (file reads, tsconfig handling, transforming CJS to ESM, returning data: URLs). Review runtime consumers of O and any provided p.port to ensure they are trusted before using this loader in a sensitive environment.

Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm tsx is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: This module installs signal handlers and actively hides them from inspection by monkeypatching listener inspection APIs. In the main thread it can forward SIGINT/SIGTERM events to a remote client (via client.connectingToServer) and may exit the process after forwarding. The concealment is a noteworthy red flag: it makes detection and auditing harder and may be used to implement covert telemetry or control. The file alone is not conclusively malicious, but the combination of hiding handlers and forwarding signals to an external component warrants careful review of the client module (client-D6NvIMSC.cjs) and any network destinations it uses before trusting this package in sensitive environments.

Warn Low
Potential code anomaly (AI signal): npm tsx is 100.0% likely to have a medium risk anomaly

Notes: The module installs hidden signal handlers for SIGINT and SIGTERM, hides them from other code by monkey-patching process.listenerCount and process.listeners, forwards signals to an external client callback, and may force exit. That stealthy interception of process signals is suspicious from a supply-chain/security perspective because it can be used to intercept or suppress normal shutdown behavior and to forward events to another module which may perform network I/O or exfiltration. There is no direct evidence in this file of data exfiltration, reverse shell, or explicit malicious payload, but the hiding behavior and delegation to an external client warrant caution and further inspection of the imported client and cjs modules. Recommend auditing the client callback and cjs/index.cjs for network operations or data-leaking behavior before trusting this package.
