What would fix thisWatchDispute verdict

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills analysed it statically (a sandbox run is pending) on 2026-10-30 and scored it 45/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; Outbound HTTP to raw IP address; References a credential file in the home directory. Summary: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.
