sonarqube@r10

CAUTION· install only

Publisher claims: "Interact with SonarQube Cloud, Server and Community build over the web API. Analyze code to identify quality and security issues." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

What this means for the label: Caution here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
no credential variables read in the code
Where it talks to
sonarqube.com (its own)Also sonarsource.com, atlassian.net — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw

Connect it under the guard. Nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only. The code names no credential variable and talks to sonarqube.com, its own; the guard pins the network to what the honeypot saw and logs every call.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- docker run -i --rm mcp/sonarqube

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

Is sonarqube@r10 safe to install?

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: Collapsed <details> block carrying instructions; Privileged sudo command; Collapsed <details> block carrying instructions. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
