Our verdict
This server holds a security score of 53/100, resulting in a high-risk rating. Because it is a community-maintained project and has not undergone editorial review, users should exercise caution. Specifically, the lack of an authentication method review suggests that potential security gaps in how external APIs are handled remain unaddressed. It is suitable for users comfortable managing their own SearXNG instances in non-critical development environments.
