Caveat verdict

claw-audit

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

This is a legitimate security scanning and hardening tool for OpenClaw that runs local scripts to detect malicious patterns, audit configuration, and calculate security scores; all commands are local node/bash scripts with no evidence of data exfiltration.

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

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