Caveat verdict

smithnode

45
🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

Requires git, cargo, network, filesystem, and shell permissions to operate a P2P blockchain validator node that participates in a live network; while the skill explicitly says never send private keys, the broad capability scope and network participation in an external blockchain are above what a typical tool warrants.

⚠ 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.

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities

No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
