Caveat verdict

openclaw-connect-node

🟢 Trusted

No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Distributed execution node connecting to a user-specified Hub via WebSocket; credentials are node identity tokens explicitly configured by the user for their own hub infrastructure.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

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.
