Rescanned at commit c3afd6c2ab09, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    skills/vermilion-sketch/scripts/sketch.py, line 399 r = subprocess.run(["curl", "-fsSL", "--max-time", str(timeout), "-A", USER_AGENT, url], capture_output=True)

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.
