Evidence

The sandbox observed nothing beyond the static findings; the proposal cites those.

Zero-context hunks: apply with git apply --unidiff-zero fix.patch on the tagged source of 2.1.0. If the behavior is intended, declare it (host under permissions.network, a line in the README) instead of removing it; the next crawl scores declarations.

Issue / PR body

Title: linux-ssh-mcp: References a credential file in the home directory (KillerSkills verdict caution 77)

## What the honeypot observed
KillerSkills ran **[email protected]** in an isolated sandbox (decoy credentials, recording proxy, syscall trace; engine 1.7) and scored it **CAUTION 77/100**. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

- See the findings below.

Full trace and findings: https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/linux-ssh-mcp/2.1.0

## Findings with a location
- `src/linux_ssh_mcp/cli_v2.py:707` · References a credential file in the home directory — src/linux_ssh_mcp/cli_v2.py:707 · References a credential file in the home directory
- `src/linux_ssh_mcp/cli_v2.py:396` · References a credential file in the home directory — src/linux_ssh_mcp/cli_v2.py:396 · References a credential file in the home directory

## Proposed change
The attached patch removes the 2 lines above. If the behavior is intended, the fix is to declare it instead: list the host under `permissions.network` (or the MCP manifest) and say in the README why the package needs it; the next crawl will re-score it with the declaration taken into account.

## How this will be verified
Nothing is "verified safe" by assertion. When a new version is published, KillerSkills re-runs it in the honeypot and the verdict page updates; you can trigger it early from the verdict page ("Re-scan after I publish a fix"). Reply here or at [email protected] if you believe the verdict is wrong; disputes are reviewed by a person and the outcome is published on the verdict page.

_Proposed through killerskills.ai/threats by a user of the package, under their own GitHub account. The evidence is public; the package was never modified by KillerSkills._
# or from a terminal, under your own account:
gh repo fork sshmcp/linux-ssh-mcp --clone && cd linux-ssh-mcp
curl -s https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/linux-ssh-mcp/2.1.0/patch.diff | git apply --unidiff-zero
git checkout -b killerskills/2.1.0 && git commit -am "linux-ssh-mcp: References a credential file in the home directory"
gh pr create --fill --body-file <(curl -s https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/linux-ssh-mcp/2.1.0/patch.md)

We count proposals opened, not merged: a merge shows up as a new version that the crawl re-runs. Disputes: the maintainer can contest the verdict from its page; a person reviews it and the outcome is published.
