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 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.

  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.

There is no job description and no resume anywhere in it — no `jd.txt`, no `resume.txt`, no pasted text in the request. - The skill's whole job is to extract ATS keywords from a job description (and optionally compare a resume against them)

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.
