Caveat verdict

clawbot-network

45
🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

Receives external input AND executes processes

This skill sets up distributed agent networking and includes a one-line install via `curl -fsSL http://YOUR-VPS:3001/install-clawbot.sh | bash` which executes remotely fetched code; while the VPS is the user's own, this pattern is inherently risky and the distributed multi-agent communication across devices warrants caution.

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.

What it does

These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.

Capability combination critical

Receives external input AND executes processes — the shape of a command & control channel

LLM05 · LLM06 · ASI10

Capability combination high

Executes processes AND makes external network calls — may exfiltrate command output

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Installs packages AND executes processes — opaque dependency chain with execution

LLM03 · ASI04

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Installs packages at runtime — transitive dependencies are not auditable

package_install

Findings (9)

Pattern match critical

Pipe-to-shell pattern (curl | sh) — supply chain attack vector

SKILL.md · code · curl -fsSL http://YOUR-VPS:3001/install-clawbot.sh | bash

Pattern match critical

Pipe to bash — executes piped content as shell commands

SKILL.md · code · | bash

Pattern match high

HTTP request to bare IP address — common in malicious payloads

Pattern match medium

Opens WebSocket connection

Pattern match medium

References sudo — requests elevated privileges

SKILL.md · prose · downgraded · sudo

pip3 install — installs Python packages at runtime

references/QUICKSTART.md · code · pip3 install

Pattern match medium

os.system/popen — direct OS command execution

scripts/clawbot_connector.py · prose · downgraded · os.popen(

Pattern match medium

Uses exec() — may execute shell commands

scripts/index.js · prose · downgraded · exec(

Pattern match low

Node http/https module — low-level network access

scripts/index.js · prose · downgraded · require('http')

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B/D). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities

No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
