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

Rescanned at commit 7898a319ca78, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    verify_urls.py, line 171 code = urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=20).status

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

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.
