Received a github advisory stating that this library is malware but I can't find any evidence as to why. Do people think there is any truth to this?

A malicious package with the same name (written in lowercase) exists, that causes this issue.

see github/advisory-database#419 (comment)

Thank you both for the report, I pinned the issue.

For anyone landing here, this library is named jQuery-QueryBuilder (with uppercases). jquery-querybuilder contained malicious code and was removed by npm team.
