Brand new Magsafe2 charger LED light leaking from cable, is it faulty?

This a brand new adapter from Apple store, there's a green light leakage from the cable at the magsafe 2 head, is this normal or it's faulty?

It's from UAE apple store and a friend got me the adapter sealed to Egypt so I can't go to apple store right away and replace it unless the friend take it again to UAE.

Sorry for being paranoid, I had terrible stories with repair shops in Egypt which ruined and burnt my previous adapter.

P.S. why not buying from Egypt? No apple stores and it costs 3x its price. I added the Other picture because someone told me on other forum it's scratched not brand new while it was only a residue from the plastic wrap! So it's the same but with flash and the leak is barely visible.

Thank you

Mine has been the same way ever since I first unboxed it. I bought it directly from Apple.com so it isn’t counterfeit. Not sure if it is a common defect/issue or what but mine has been working fine for years without issue. I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless further issues arise if I were you.

Thank you so much for your help and assurance. I think it's common to an extent, just looked at old replacement adapter I got from a repair shop and thought it was shady, has the same bleeding but a little bit less on one side than my new one.

Mine is fine and I have a 2021 16" (MagSafe 3), just a little leaky. My cable also came from Apple, and I had to supply my own USB-C adapter and cable, so I think it's to a degree, expected.

Thank you so much for your help and assurance, I guess it's a common thing then but varies to several extents.

@jaimed3437 If the charger works, it's an issue you live with. Seems like most cables have a bit of leakage.
