ClawAudit verdict
ai-search
deepseek-ai-search
The skill embeds a hardcoded 'public' API key and routes all search queries through https://ai.ch66.top, an unverified third-party proxy rather than an official DeepSeek endpoint, meaning all user queries would pass through an unknown operator.
โ Flagged for review โ coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
