yburn

by oscarsterlingUpdated 3 weeks ago

“Audit your AI agent cron jobs and replace mechanical ones with local Python scripts. Zero tokens, sub-second execution. 58% of crons in a live 98-job deployment did not need an LLM. Includes yburn-health (system monitor with OpenClaw and Claude Code modes) and yburn-watch (endpoint uptime + SSL cert expiry monitor).”— oscarsterling

Interesting concept: replace token-burning LLM cron jobs with local scripts. The idea is sound and the problem is real. But zero stars and…
03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED
Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.
Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.
Security tierTier 1, Contained.No network access and no credentials. Runs entirely on its own. What tiers mean
Install-time hooks & dependenciesno flags
Code that runs when you install it, before you ever call a tool.

Network calls out26 findings
MEDIUMyburn/flagship/yburn_health.py:692 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'api.telegram.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.

Prompt-injection passthrough1 finding
INFOyburn/templates/oauth-health-check/script.py — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.
Permission scope breadth3 findings
INFOyburn/flagship/yburn_health.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.
INFOyburn/templates/db-maintenance-status/script.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.
INFOtests/test_yburn_health.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.
How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
