Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

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 b83b476c47e7.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/shopping-aggregator/reference/tools/bright-data.md, line 23 curl https://api.brightdata.com/request \

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    skills/shopping-aggregator/reference/tools/bright-data.md, line 23 curl https://api.brightdata.com/request \

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/config_runtime.py, line 65 ".env", "settings.env", "config/settings.env"):

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    scripts/config_runtime.py, line 86 result = subprocess.run(["git", "-C", str(root), *args], capture_output=True,

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.
