Official description
The package voltswannts 0.1.0 on PyPI contains 6 scanned files with no behaviors indicating supply-chain attack against installers. No install-time or import-time network activity, no credential or filesystem reads targeting installer secrets, no shell execution of fetched content, no lifecycle or build-backend side effects, and no obfuscated payloads were observed.
