ClawAudit verdict

async-task

45
🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

The skill instructs cloning from a third-party GitHub repo and installing it globally via npm link, and also supports a configurable ASYNC_TASK_PUSH_URL that could redirect task results including session content to an arbitrary external endpoint.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
