Official description

The package contains no detected install-time network activity, no credential or filesystem harvesting, no shell execution of fetched content, and no lifecycle hooks performing outbound I/O. No attacker-controlled destinations, no reads of installer secret paths, and no persistence mechanisms are present in the shipped source.
