KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Reads credential paths from the home directory; References a credential file in the home directory; References a credential file in the home directory. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
