Danish News Aggregator
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a public Danish RSS aggregator, with review notes around network fetching, unpinned Python setup, optional cron refresh, untrusted feed content, and one helper that disables TLS verification.
Install this only if you want a tool that contacts listed public news RSS sources and creates local RSS XML files. Consider pinning dependencies, keeping TLS verification enabled, adding cron only intentionally, and treating generated feed content as untrusted external text.
Findings (4)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
A network attacker could potentially spoof or alter fetched RSS content for this helper script.
An included RSS-fetching helper disables HTTPS certificate validation. This is limited to public feed retrieval, but it can weaken integrity of fetched news content.
ctx.check_hostname = False
ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONEPrefer TLS verification, use trusted HTTPS feed URLs, and remove the certificate-disabling lines unless there is a specific controlled testing need.
Future dependency versions could behave differently from the version the author tested.
The setup instructions install dependencies by package name without version pins or a lockfile. This is a normal Python setup step, but version/provenance trust is left to the user.
pip install feedparser python-dateutil
Install from a trusted Python environment and consider pinning or reviewing dependency versions before use.
If another agent or automation reads the generated feeds, it should not treat article text as trusted instructions.
The generated RSS output includes titles, links, and summaries from third-party feeds. That is the intended function, but the resulting feed is persistent retrieved content from untrusted sources.
<title><![CDATA[{entry['title']}]]></title> ... <link>{entry['link']}</link> ... <description><![CDATA[{entry['summary']}]]></description>Treat generated RSS content as untrusted external text, and sanitize or escape content carefully if publishing it into agent workflows.
If configured, the script will repeatedly contact RSS sources and update local output files.
The documented cron option creates recurring background execution every 15 minutes. It is explicit and user-directed, but it persists until removed.

Only add the cron job if periodic refresh is desired, and remove it from crontab when no longer needed.
