Seo Aeo Audit

Audit search and answer-engine visibility with evidence, then return a prioritized change plan.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

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

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_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    bin/seo-aeo-audit.js, line 93 fs.rmSync(dest, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    docs/evidence/plans/fw06-transport-probe.py, line 45 observe('page conflicting lengths',lambda:{'truncated':m.fetch(origin+'/page',5,m.DEFAULT_UA,4096)[2]})

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    docs/evidence/plans/fw06-transport-probe.py, line 45 observe('page conflicting lengths',lambda:{'truncated':m.fetch(origin+'/page',5,m.DEFAULT_UA,4096)[2]})

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 14 # untracked-but-unignored .env at a sibling's repo root, one `git add -A`

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.
