Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

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/longform-to-shorts/references/ffmpeg-recipes.md, line 32 curl -s https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/audio/transcriptions -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    skills/longform-to-shorts/references/ffmpeg-recipes.md, line 32 curl -s https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/audio/transcriptions -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/longform-to-shorts/references/ffmpeg-recipes.md, line 31 KEY=$(grep GROQ_API_KEY ~/.config/watch/.env | cut -d= -f2)

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    skills/shorts-from-takes/scripts/build.py, line 83 subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,

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.
