ClawAudit verdict

esr-openclaw-checklist

88
🟢 Trusted
Low risk — reviewed by ClawAudit, behavior matches stated purpose

This skill runs a local Python security checklist script at a fixed path and displays its output unchanged to the user; it executes no remote code, accesses no credentials, and explicitly instructs the agent not to modify system config without user confirmation.

⚠ 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.
