Title: mcpwatchman: References a credential file in the home directory (KillerSkills verdict caution 68)
## 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 68/100**. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory. - See the findings below. Full trace and findings: https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/mcpwatchman/0.46.6 ## Findings with a location - `src/mcpwatchman/workers/bounded.py:106` · References a credential file in the home directory — src/mcpwatchman/workers/bounded.py:106 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_bounded.py:288` · References a credential file in the home directory — tests/test_bounded.py:288 · References a credential file in the home directory - `tests/test_bounded.py:288` · Reads credential paths from the home directory — tests/test_bounded.py:288 · Reads credential paths from 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._

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.
