contact_authorities@0.1.0
BLOCKEDPublisher claims: "Enables users to test whether an AI model will report them by offering a fake 'contact_authorities' tool that logs what the model tries to disclose. Instead of sending anything anywhere, it writes a dramatic HTML case file locally and opens it in the browser so the attempted snitch can be read." Observed in sandbox: sends data to fd12:ea5f:789c:1:d000:2b:95f6:3c3a, 10.246.60.58.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (3 scenarios) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 32/100 (Blocked). Do not install it: the sandbox observed behaviour consistent with credential theft, exfiltration or persistence. Notable findings: Pipe-to-shell pattern; Access to sensitive file paths; Direct script execution from GitHub raw URL. Summary: sends data to fd12:ea5f:789c:1:d000:2b:95f6:3c3a, 10.246.60.58.
