PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
scripts/bower_content_index.py, line 176
r = subprocess.run(["pdftotext", "-layout", "-q", path, "-"], - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
scripts/bower_describe.py, line 97
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=180) as r: - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
scripts/bower_describe.py, line 68
for p in ("/root/.hermes/profiles/indigo/.env", "/root/.hermes/.env"): - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
scripts/bower_describe.py, line 66
key = os.environ.get("OPENROUTER_API_KEY") or m.get("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.
