Official description
Package juniperrun 0.1.0 on PyPI shows no indicators of installer-side harm in the files scanned. No install-time network activity, no lifecycle hooks fetching or executing remote content, no reads of credential paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, ~/.pypirc) or environment scraping, no silent-relay of caller data to a hardcoded destination, and no persistence or backdoor mechanisms are present.
