ClawAudit verdict

🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

The skill directs users to register on and transmits paper/user data to a hardcoded third-party Gitea server at 43.156.243.152:3000, which is an unknown external host receiving user identity and research data beyond what a local knowledge base would require.

⚠ 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.
