Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    meta/brain_check.py, line 140 st = subprocess.run(["git", "-C", BRAIN, "status", "--porcelain"],

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    second-brain-framework/skills/github-ranking-tracker/scripts/fetch_all.py, line 21 def fetch(url, tries=3):

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    second-brain-framework/skills/github-ranking-tracker/scripts/fetch_all.py, line 21 def fetch(url, tries=3):

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

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

    .gitignore, line 34 *.pem

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.
