ClawAudit verdict
version-drift
SSH-based version checker that connects to user-configured servers and runs shell commands to query installed versions; while legitimate in purpose, it requires broad SSH access to production infrastructure and executes arbitrary commands on remote hosts.
⚠ 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.

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