Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 7 times, with a normal setup, LC_MESSAGES set, docs:P0171 P0174 and a GitHub Actions environment. It made no network connections. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

0 findings. Scanned 26 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.

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.

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.
