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

Rescanned at commit 8e9d134404d7, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/codealive-context-engine/setup.py, line 245 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15) as resp:

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    skills/codealive-context-engine/setup.py, line 72 r = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    skills/codealive-context-engine/setup.py, line 65 key = os.getenv("CODEALIVE_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.
