How was self-improvement audited?

ClawSecure ran self-improvement through its 3-Layer Audit Protocol with full OWASP ASI Top 10 coverage, scanning 17 files.

What does a score of 30 mean?

ClawSecure assigned self-improvement a security score of 30/100, placing it in the High Risk range. This is driven by 9 findings led by Malicious Code that should be addressed before use. ClawSecure derives this score with a weighted deduction model (critical -20, high -10, medium -5, low -2 from a base of 100).

Security Recommendations for self-improvement

Audit external network connections

self-improvement connects to external endpoints. Verify every outbound connection goes to a trusted destination. Unauthorized callbacks are a primary indicator of ClawHavoc malware and data exfiltration. ClawSecure's proprietary engine monitors for known malicious endpoints including C2 infrastructure.

Add a config.json permissions manifest

A config.json file declares what an agent component can access: file system, network, shell execution and more. Without it, users have no visibility into what the component can do before installing. This is the single most impactful security improvement for any AI agent skill.

Fix ReDoS-prone patterns

self-improvement contains regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). Replace vulnerable patterns, bound input length, and prefer linear-time matching so a crafted input cannot hang the agent.
