Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Known bad PyPi packages
Pyup.io has a community db over here with a big json of package containing vulnerabilities. I am afraid you will have to dig in the data to find a way to filter malicious packages.

Auditing your python environment
An open source version that we can freely use. It is updated once a month.

Smooth Packaging: Flowing from Source to PyPi with GitLab Pipelines
Next up is making sure, none of the dependencies used throughout the project brings with it any already identified security issue. The makefile target audit, invokes the handy tool pip-audit.

Show HN: One makefile to rule them all
Here is my "one true" Makefile for Python projects[1]. The skeleton gets tweaked slightly each time, but it's served me well for 4+ years.

Why use this over the established https://pypi.org/project/pip-audit/ ?

Underappreciated Challenges with Python Packaging
If it's pure Python, the only packaging file you need is `pyproject.toml`. You can fill that file with packaging metadata per PEP 518 and PEP 621, including using modern build tooling like flit[1] for the build backend and build[2] for the frontend.
With that, you entire package build (for all distribution types) should be reducible to `python -m build`. Here's an example of a full project doing everything with just `pyproject.toml`[3] (FD: my project).

How to create a Python package in 2022
This is really nicely written; kudos to the author for compiling a great deal of information in a readable format.
If I can be forgiven one nitpick: Poetry does not use a PEP 518-style[1] build configuration by default, which means that its use of `pyproject.toml` is slightly out of pace with the rest of the Python packaging ecosystem. That isn't to say that it isn't excellent, because it is! But you the standards have come a long way, and you can now use `pyproject.toml` with any build backend as long as you use the standard metadata.
By way of example, here's a project that's completely PEP 517 and PEP 518 compatible without needing a setup.py or setup.cfg[2]. Everything goes through pyproject.toml.

I think the CTX package on PyPI has been hacked!
Checking could be done if something like this eventually shows up in safety or pip-audit.

Open-source way to scan dependencies for CVEs?
Something like python's pip-audit. For commercial solutions I know there's Snyk and Jfrog we can always purchase, but I'm interested to see if there's an open-source tool that can do this.
What are some alternatives?
advisory-database - Advisory database for Python packages published on pypi.org
ochrona-cli - A command line tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Python dependencies and doing safe package installs
