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

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    adapters/kimi-cli/README.md, line 41 Invoke-RestMethod https://code.kimi.com/install.ps1 | Invoke-Expression

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    adapters/kimi/README.md, line 34 # or: curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    evals/fixtures/harness-tool-force/task-tiny-heavy/ask-spec.md, line 1 # Ask → spec

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    scripts/lib/judgment.py, line 183

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    CHANGELOG.md, line 283

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.
