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

Rescanned at commit dbce09dd49fe.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    evals/secret-audit/fixture.sh, line 4 printf 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE\nAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY\n' > .env; gi add .env; gi commit -qm "chore: add env"

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    evals/record.py, line 33 v = subprocess.run(["git", "config", "--global", k], capture_output=True, text=True).stdout.strip()

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    hooks/secret-scan.py, line 11 if os.environ.get("SKILLKEEL_ALLOW_SECRETS"):

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.
