Official description

melcuratts 0.1.0 contains no observed install-time or import-time execution of attacker-controlled code, no credential or environment harvesting, no outbound network to attacker-controlled destinations, no silent relay of caller-supplied data, no persistence or backdoor mechanism, and no shipped third-party credentials. No supply-chain attack fingerprint is present in the package contents.
