Abstract
Techniques are described for a behavioral analysis of metadata associated with source code to identify malicious source code. For example, this disclosure describes a computing system configured to obtain metadata associated with source code of a software package. The computing system is also configured to determine, based on the metadata associated with source code, whether there are any anomalies associated with the source code. The computing system is further configured to, in response to determining that there is at least one anomaly associated with the source code, compute a score for the software package. The computing system is also configured to perform an action based on the score for the software package.
