ClawAudit verdict

pbd-cli

45
🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

Installation uses curl piped to bash from a raw GitHub URL to install to /usr/local/bin, which executes an arbitrary script with system-level write access; while the PaleBlueDot CLI itself is benign, the piped install pattern is a concrete execution risk.

⚠ 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.
