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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    benchmarks/evaluate.py, line 135 finalization = subprocess.run(

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    review-viewer/app/review-workspace.tsx, line 882 fetch("/reviews/index.json")

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    econ-review/scripts/setup_econ_review.py, line 114 folded_name == ".env"

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    econ-review/scripts/pdf_ingestion.py, line 2113 app_key=os.environ.get("MATHPIX_APP_KEY", ""),

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    econ-review/scripts/validate_review.py, line 1 #!/usr/bin/env python3

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.
