Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/install.js, line 106 fs.rmSync(destDir, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/json-processing-with-jq/SKILL.md, line 30 curl -s http://api.example.com/data | jq '.'

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    skills/json-processing-with-jq/SKILL.md, line 30 curl -s http://api.example.com/data | jq '.'

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    skills/tdd/mocking.md, line 32 const client = new StripeClient(process.env.STRIPE_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.
