Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 4 times, with a normal setup, a GitHub Actions environment and cloud credentials present. It contacted github.com. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

1 finding. Scanned 26 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

What this package does

observed across 4 runs
  1. Package frame-security-scan 4 files · agent skill
  2. Install No install stepFiles were copied in as they are.
  3. Runs as ls -lawhich -a framegrep -i framels /usr/local/bin /usr/bin An AI agent also used it 1 time.
  4. What it reached
    Network
    • github.com 2 connections, 418 B sent
    Credentials

    None of the planted fake keys were touched.

    Files written

    Nothing outside its own folder.

We planted fake AWS, SSH, npm and GitHub keys and a .env file before every run. Red means something left or was planted to run later.

Findings

F01 Low

Network destinations contacted

Confidence
Info The package connected to these hosts.
Observed in
llm:baseline

Description

Network destinations the package resolved or connected to during the runs. All traffic was captured by the sandbox; nothing reached the internet.

Impact

Context only. Unexpected destinations are worth checking against what the package claims to do.

Evidence

github.com

Remediation

Confirm each host is expected (the package's API, its registry). Allowlist expected egress in production.

Frame is not installed.** `frame --version` and `frame scan --help` both return `command not found`, and it isn't in `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, or the Python environment. The skill says not to install it for you, so I haven't. To continue, install it yourself following the steps in the project README (github.com/lambdasec/frame

Observed behavior only. A clean result does not prove a package is safe. Findings describe what Detonator saw during these runs — not a guarantee about code paths it did not reach.
