Package is named 'telegram-lite-grabber', a name strongly suggestive of a tool intended to harvest Telegram credentials or session data. No concrete malicious behavior was identified in the scanned files, and no install-time or import-time harmful code paths were observed. The name alone, however, warrants human review to assess whether the package distributes attack tooling, contains a payload not surfaced by automated checks, or is otherwise unsuitable for the registry.
Package exfiltrates data from the Telegram application to a remote location, effectively collecting Telegram sessions.
