Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 8 times, with a normal setup, the environment variables it says it needs, POPNOW_API_KEY set and LC_MESSAGES set. It made no network connections. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

0 findings. Scanned 27 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

What this package does

observed across 8 runs
  1. Package popnow-media 6 files · agent skill
  2. Install No install stepFiles were copied in as they are.
  3. Runs as python3 <skill>/scripts/client.pypython3 <skill>/scripts/popnow.pypython3 scripts/popnow.py models --search imagepython3 scripts/popnow.py balance
  4. What it reached
    Network

    No connections.

    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

No findings. Detonator observed no malicious or suspicious behavior in the runs below.

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.
