Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

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.

Rescanned at commit 917ea82286e7.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/gen-star-history.mjs, line 61 const res = await fetch(url, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    scripts/gen-star-history.mjs, line 45 if (process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN) return process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN;

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

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

    evals/results/pilot2-04-tradeoff-composition-root/traces/with.jsonl, line 1 {"type":"system","subtype":"hook_started","hook_id":"d85a07b5-f427-4ff6-b355-420d2553236b","hook_name":"SessionStart:startup","hook_event":"SessionStart","uuid":"50b9a9ba-6375-4d99

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.es.md, line 73 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyhmrright/brooks-lint/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- <platform>

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/gen-star-history.mjs, line 45 if (process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN) return process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN;

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

    Pass

    No shell or command call was found in the code. This check does not read permissions an entry declares. A permission line to run shell commands and write or edit files was found in this repository, and it may apply to this entry.

  • Install and update

    Note

    The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.
