Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

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

Rescanned at commit df58e872c416, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED 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/dangerous_patterns.py, line 824 def fetch(url):

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    references/a04-cryptographic-failures.md, line 431 and the deployment and libraries files for `.env` hygiene.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    scripts/dangerous_patterns.py, line 756 os.system("rm -rf " + target)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/dangerous_patterns.py, line 901 API_TOKEN = os.environ.get("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.
