INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED NETWORK_NAMED_HOST SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 3 requests

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    skills/market-intel/reference/tools/defillama.md, line 15 curl https://api.llama.fi/protocols

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    tools/discover.py, line 214 if os.environ.get("GITHUB_TOKEN"):

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    tools/changelog_draft.py, line 139 proc = subprocess.run(

  • NETWORK_NAMED_HOST Note

    Calls a fixed host that the description names.

    skills/market-intel/reference/tools/defillama.md, line 15 curl https://api.llama.fi/protocols

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    tools/discover.py, line 214 if os.environ.get("GITHUB_TOKEN"):

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.
