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 94c9efd55d35, unchanged since the check below.

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.

    demo/demo.py, line 59 p = subprocess.run([sys.executable, ENGINE, *args], env=env,

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    reference/machine_bus.py, line 197 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=6) as r:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    reference/consensus.py, line 70 "api key", "credential", ".env", "canon", "claude.md",

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    reference/consensus.py, line 55 ME = os.environ.get("MACHINE_KEY", os.environ.get("COMPUTERNAME", os.environ.get("HOSTNAME", "unknown"))).strip()

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.
