with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15) as response:

Recommendation

Review config.yaml and only add RSS feed URLs you trust or are comfortable contacting.

Note

ASI10: Rogue Agents

What this means

If enabled, the skill can run every day and fetch RSS feeds even when you are not manually invoking it.

Why it was flagged

Skill content

(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 9 * * * python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/industry-news-agent/scripts/fetch_news.py") | crontab -

Recommendation

Only enable the cron job if you want daily background execution, and remove it from crontab when no longer needed.
