Summary
Togoder Security scanned the npm package obug@2.2.1 on Oct 6, 2026. An AI review of 4 source files produced 3 low severity findings. No malicious behavior, install-time payloads, credential theft or exfiltration were identified.
Findings 3
Environment Variable Access
NPS-E951E08483EB
The code reads process.env.DEBUG and filters keys matching /^debug_/i to build inspect options. This is standard behavior for the debug package to allow configuration via environment variables. No sensitive credentials (npmrc, pypirc, ssh keys, etc.) are read or exfiltrated.
Terminal Detection
NPS-E496904A69B7
Uses node:tty isatty and process.stderr.getColorDepth to determine color support. This is benign terminal capability probing, not a security concern.
Output Formatting
NPS-B2A8DB8ACADE
Writes formatted log messages to process.stderr. No file system writes, network requests, or process spawning occur.
Files reviewed

|---|---|---|
| dist/ansi.js | safe | The file is a standard ANSI/debug logging module with benign environment reading and terminal detection; no malicious patterns found. |
| dist/browser.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected; this is a standard browser build of the debug library with expected color formatting, namespace persistence, and console logging behavior. |
| dist/core.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
| dist/plain.js | safe | No malicious patterns detected |
