ClawAudit verdict

searxng-web-search

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

Straightforward Python client for a self-hosted SearXNG instance; queries only go to the locally configured SEARXNG_BASE_URL and return structured search results with no data exfiltration.

⚠ 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.
