A fix the maintainer can act on, with the evidence attached. It opens under your GitHub account in your browser; KillerSkills holds no token and never modifies the package. The fix is verified the only way we verify anything: the next crawl re-runs the new version in the honeypot. 70 · Caution

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

Title: mcpknight: Reads credential paths from the home directory (KillerSkills verdict caution 70)
## What the honeypot observed KillerSkills ran **[email protected]** in an isolated sandbox (decoy credentials, recording proxy, syscall trace; engine 1.8.1) and scored it **CAUTION 70/100**. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory. - See the findings below. Full trace and findings: https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/mcpknight/0.1.0 ## Findings with a location - `intent_analyser/semantic_analyser.py:250` · Reads credential paths from the home directory — intent_analyser/semantic_analyser.py:250 · Reads credential paths from the home directory - `tests/test_intent_quarantine_integration.py:63` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_intent_quarantine_integration.py:63 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_intent_analyser.py:73` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_intent_analyser.py:73 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_firewall_cli.py:52` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_firewall_cli.py:52 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_current_implementation_regressions.py:53` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_current_implementation_regressions.py:53 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_current_implementation_regressions.py:68` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_current_implementation_regressions.py:68 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_firewall_cli.py:99` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_firewall_cli.py:99 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_mcp_proxy.py:28` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_mcp_proxy.py:28 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_mcp_firewall_client.py:148` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_mcp_firewall_client.py:148 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_firewall_cli.py:226` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_firewall_cli.py:226 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_mcp_firewall_client.py:222` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_mcp_firewall_client.py:222 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_mcp_proxy.py:119` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_mcp_proxy.py:119 · References a credential file in the home directory ## Proposed change The attached patch removes the 13 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._
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.
