Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit 8a0f42a6905f, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/testing-agent/batch-scanner.ts, line 39 await fs.rm(dirPath, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    src/concepts/a11y-scanner/firecrawl.ts, line 59 const response = await fetch('https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/map', {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    src/concepts/a11y-scanner/firecrawl.ts, line 59 const response = await fetch('https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/map', {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/start.js, line 13 * AETHER_PROJECT_CWD so the server can read that project's .env for ALLCHEMY_API_KEY,

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    scripts/smoke.js, line 14 env: { ...process.env, ALLCHEMY_API_KEY: process.env.ALLCHEMY_API_KEY ?? '' },

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    src/testing-agent/batch-scanner.ts, line 39

    await fs.rm(dirPath, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach api.firecrawl.dev. The description does not name that host. can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST
