Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit 5db2085c24a1, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    plugins/gitgud/shared/triage.sh, line 10 # - team probes ride curl + bearer against the github rest api, the one path the sandbox serves

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    plugins/gitgud/skills/backup/backup.sh, line 91 # copying ignored files too would sweep `.env` in for nothing, since neither command reaches it

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    plugins/gitgud/shared/handover.sh, line 91 grep -E '(^|/)\.env[^/]*$|\.(pem|crt|key|p12)$' || true

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.
