I think this is a female orb weaver of some kind but I’m not sure and want to know what specifically this could be. Is it venomous? I spotted it within the storm door frame on my back door

It’s a female cross orb weaver Araneus diadematus…she’s harmless
Nod pegged this, none of the orb weavers produce venom that is toxic to humans or pets, and then, they are reluctant to bite. Caught her maybe hiding out for the day.
