ClawAudit verdict

dial-a-cron

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

The skill itself explicitly documents that it uses shell=True with unsanitized config values, can read arbitrary local files, make HTTP requests to any host including internal IPs, and post outputs to external endpoints — broad I/O with injection risk depending on job configs.

⚠ 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.
