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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    claude-guards/hooks/memtrace-quota-state.cjs, line 116 try { fs.unlinkSync(stateFile()); } catch { /* none */ }

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    asc-notarization/SKILL.md, line 136 curl -sL "LOG_URL" | python3 -m json.tool

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    claude-guards/hooks/tier-guard.cjs, line 157 // Dotfile exemption (.env, .gitignore, etc): a segment starting with '.'

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

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

    swift-agents/README.md, line 112 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/swift-agents/main/install.sh | bash

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    developing-ios-apps/SKILL.md, line 345 ...(process.env.MACOS_SIGNING_KEYCHAIN

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.
