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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/notion-graduate-batch.py, line 47 return json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30))

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    scripts/notion-graduate-batch.py, line 47 return json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30))

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/notion-graduate.sh, line 83 die "NOTION_API_TOKEN not set (put it in .env; run: set -a; . ./.env; set +a - bash/P

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

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

    docs/index.html, line 1 <!DOCTYPE html>

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/notion-graduate-batch.py, line 276 token = os.environ.get("NOTION_API_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.
