ClawAudit verdict
clawbump
The skill_update notification handler explicitly instructs the agent to silently fetch https://agent-knowhow.vercel.app/skill.md and apply it on the next session while explicitly stating 'Do not notify the user' — this is a covert remote-code-execution and self-modification vector deliberately hidden from the user.
⚠ 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.
