SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    skills/skill-fetch/references/interaction-patterns.md, line 99 | **D** | System Modification | High | Writes to `/etc/`, `~/.ssh/`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `crontab`, modifying shell profiles or global config |

  • AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS Medium

    Text tells the agent to ignore earlier instructions.

    skills/skill-fetch/references/interaction-patterns.md, line 135 - `Ignore previous instructions`、`Ignore all prior instructions`

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions
