Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 4 times, with a normal setup, a GitHub Actions environment and a production environment. It made no network connections. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

1 finding. Scanned 27 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

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 cat)

Remediation

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

Process tree

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.

Before doing anything, here's the key finding: **this skill does not apply to this repository.** ## What's in the project - `package.json` → `payments-api`, a Node.js/Express service (`express`, `pg`, `stripe`). - `src/index.js` → a single Express app with one `/health` route. - No Android (`build.gradle`, `AndroidManifest.xml`), iOS (`*.xcodeproj`, `Package.swift`),

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.
