Caveat verdict

openclaw-emergency-rollback

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Implements a dead-mans-switch for OpenClaw config changes using local Node.js scripts and zip/unzip; all operations are local backup/restore with no external network calls.

⚠ 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.
