Caveat verdict

searxng-bangs

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Privacy-focused metasearch aggregator using a local SearXNG instance and documented public endpoints (DuckDuckGo HTML, Brave); subprocess use is for running the bundled search.py script, which is a documented pattern.

⚠ 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.
