KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 78/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: GitHub token pattern detected; AWS access key pattern detected; Direct script execution from GitHub raw URL. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
