Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 fastapi>=0.100.0,<0.111.0

  • NETWORK_LOCALHOST Note

    Calls localhost only.

    paper_search_with_citation/SKILL.md, line 32 curl http://localhost:8111/health

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    search.py, line 255 api_keys = os.getenv("SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEYS",

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.
