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.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    kicad_lib/cli.py, line 254 r0 = subprocess.run(["git", "-C", str(p.parent), "rev-parse",

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

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.
