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

Rescanned at commit 88d447c7fb84, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    install.sh, line 189 # Check curl is available

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    install.sh, line 189 # Check curl is available

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    install.sh, line 175 if jq '.env = (.env // {}) + {"CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"}' "$SETTINGS_FILE" > "$tmp_file"; then

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

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

    README.md, line 66 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rsmdt/the-startup/main/install.sh | sh

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    plugins/start/skills/validate/reference/constitution-validation.md, line 232 - **Autofix:** Replace with `process.env.PAYMENT_API_KEY`

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 was found in this repository, and it may apply to this entry.

  • Install and update

    Note

    README documents an installer that pipes a download into a shell. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

  • Network

    Concern
