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

Rescanned at commit d262262d1dcd.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

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

    internal/environment/accesslog_redaction_test.go, line 235 cmd := exec.Command("sh", "-c", "exit 7")

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    internal/sandbox/sandbox.go, line 64 // ~/.ssh/id_ed25519) to mount as a fallback push identity when deploy

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.
