KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario) on 2026-11-01 and scored it 72/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Pipe-to-shell pattern; Outbound HTTP to raw IP address. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
