ClawAudit verdict

openclaw-vps-deploy

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

A VPS deployment skill that connects via SSH to install and configure OpenClaw on a Hostinger server; reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the local vault to provision the remote instance — legitimate devops tooling.

⚠ 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.
