It has a limited risk. - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (4fd3ca0609eb9f545088fbfb51cc2ac74b0fc08855df7647aa9474aa9f6c72dd) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'debug-toolbar' @ 0.0.1 (pypi) as malicious.
