Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
vmware_nsx/connection.py, line 183
explicit safe set that preserves the characters curl passes literally - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
skills/vmware-nsx/SKILL.md, line 55
vmware-nsx init # guided setup: writes config + .env (chmod 600, password grep-safe), then verifies - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

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.
