Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

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 SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    deploy/install.sh, line 37 for tool in curl tar openssl; do

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    core/admin.go, line 299 w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", `attachment; filename=".env.slopchan"`)

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    dev/run.py, line 37 check = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    core/main.go, line 24 value := os.Getenv("SLOPCHAN_TOKENS")

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.
