ClawAudit verdict
skill-auditor-in-sandbox
The skill instructs running `curl -fsSL https://novitaclaw.novita.ai/install.sh | bash` to install the CLI, which is a classic curl-pipe-to-shell pattern; while this is a documented prerequisite step rather than covert execution, it fetches and runs untrusted remote code and routes sandbox activity through a third-party cloud service (novita.ai), warranting caution before use.
โ Flagged for review โ coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
Automated static analysis โ not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
