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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    install/installer.py, line 107 shutil.rmtree(path, onexc=lambda f, t, e: on_error(f, t, e))

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/ai-wiki/scripts/verify-refs.py, line 125 def fetch(url: str, retries: int = 2) -> str | None:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    install/installer.py, line 17 6. Seed dependency ``.env`` files from a synced secrets directory, if one exists.

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.
