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

Rescanned at commit 05d9e8b12fa4, unchanged since the check below.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 anyio==4.12.1

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    .claude/skills/vectorbt-expert/rules/data-fetching.md, line 459 response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/history", params={

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .claude/skills/backtest/SKILL.md, line 28 - Load `.env` from the project root using `find_dotenv()` (walks up from script dir automatically)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    backtesting/SBIN_ema_crossover_backtest.py, line 24 api_key=os.getenv("OPENALGO_API_KEY", "your-api-key-here"),

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

    Concern

    dependencies are not pinned.

    INSTALL_UNPINNED

    requirements.txt, line 1

    anyio==4.12.1

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    .claude/skills/vectorbt-expert/rules/data-fetching.md, line 459

    response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/history", params={

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.
