--- _-= Per source details.

The fetch is unpinned, uses plain HTTP to a bare IP with no integrity check, and is wrapped in a try/catch that suppresses errors. The shipped index.js is a one-line stub exporting a no-op request() function, so the package provides no legitimate functionality — the manifest lifecycle hook is the entire payload, and the 'API client' framing is a cover story. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (e30333357bace03d536c107ea6180be7a1951073192c1647bcb028e9fac3d633) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'grafeno-api' @ 1.0.1 (npm) as malicious.
