This seems extremely unlikely. We don’t see stars doing this naturally, and stars are very big objects so the chance of this happening by sheer chance shouldn’t be that low if it can happen with anything like marginally plausible technology. Similarly, from a Great Filter standpoint, we don’t see a lot of sun-like stars going boom, so this can’t be a substantial fraction of the Great Filter.
It is also extremely unclear how one would go about setting this off even if it were possible. You’d need to somehow get a large, specifically engineered nuclear weapon deep into the sun without it being damaged or destroyed in the process. Overall, I’m not terribly worried.
