Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Servo Fetch

servo-fetch A self-contained browser engine that fetches, renders, and extracts web content as Markdown, JSON, or screenshots — no Chromium, no API key, no setup.

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.

Rescanned at commit 914241df0c2d, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    benchmarks/src/servo_fetch_bench/binaries.py, line 133 shutil.rmtree(target_dir)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    install.sh, line 15 version=$(curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    install.sh, line 15 version=$(curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    crates/servo-fetch/src/session/supervisor/process_tree.rs, line 160 .env(PARENT_LIFELINE_FD_ENV, lifeline_fd.to_string());

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.md, line 77 | **CLI** | `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konippi/servo-fetch/main/install.sh \| sh` | [CLI docs](crates/servo-fetch-cli/README.md) |

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    Cargo.lock, line 1 # This file is automatically @generated by Cargo.

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.
