Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 4 times, with a normal setup, docs:/datasets/llms/facets facet=state and docs:/datasets/llms/search state=present sort=rank_asc. It made no network connections. 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 ai-crawler-readiness 5 files · agent skill
  2. Install No install stepFiles were copied in as they are.

  4. What it reached
    Network

    No connections.

    Credentials

    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

Loaded the project's .env file

Confidence
Info The package loaded the project's .env file.
Observed in
llm:baseline

Description

The process loaded the project's .env file. Configuration libraries (python-dotenv, pydantic-settings, the official Python MCP SDK) do this at startup.

Impact

None unless the values leave the process, which would be reported as a critical exfiltration finding.

Evidence

./.env (by sed)

Remediation

No action needed. Keep long-lived secrets out of project .env files where possible.

run llm:baseline

Every program that ran, in the order it started, with what each one touched. Red marks the path to a leak or a planted file.

Here's what I found and why I stopped before making any API calls. ## Status: not run — no Crawlora credential available - `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` is **not set** in this environment. The project `.env` contains only `OPENAI_API_KEY` and `DATABASE_URL`; neither is a Crawlora key, and I won't repurpose or send them to a third-party

Note

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.
