ClawAudit verdict
paid-db-access
Academic database access skill that uses the browser existing logged-in session via CDP; all data saved locally and it explicitly prohibits exfiltrating abstracts to the main context.
⚠ 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.
