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

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    varg-ai/scripts/setup.sh, line 187 dim " curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash"

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Pass

    No shell or command call was found in the code. This check does not read permissions an entry declares. A permission line to run shell commands and write or edit files was found in this repository, and it may apply to this entry.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

    varg-ai/scripts/setup.sh, line 187

    dim " curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash"

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach raw.githubusercontent.com. The description does not name that host. can reach api.varg.ai. The description does not name that host. can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.
