Caveat verdict

openclaw-security-patrol

45
🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

In --push mode the skill sends MAC address, hostname, persistent agent_id, and complete installed skill list to auth.ctct.cn operated by Changeway; genuine third-party transmission of device fingerprinting data even though consent is prompted.

⚠ 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.
