I'm guessing this probably isn't intentional but to an AV engine this repo looks like malware.

Can you provide any additional information about the vendor / nature of the classification? Agreed, the scripts look very dodgy, but they're currently also the only way to diagnose certain hangs on CI. There is probably a better alternative they could be replaced with, fairly sure there are packaged solutions for this problem

I can’t I’m afraid. In our environment this was red flagged and blocked because it looked dodgy. If corporate adoption is a goal of yours then you might want to do something about it.

If corporate says its malware then you might want to do something about corporate.

I believe it was one of the maintainer's personal domains. It's now expired,. So I propose to remove the reverse shell, which was a debugging aid for CI jobs in the early days of Mitogen CI. To my knowledge it has not been usable for a long time. In my opinion it is no longer needed.
