Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Grade D

Two or more Medium findings, or a High. Only try it in a sandbox.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    deploy/worker/Dockerfile, line 31 && curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash - \

  • OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD Medium

    Contains a very long line with almost no spaces in a script or style file.

    catalog/checks.json, line 1 {

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.
