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

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 6 Pillow>=10.0.0

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    tools/competitor_board.py, line 44 with urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=15) as r:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    tools/init.py, line 193 "--dry-run. Put FAL_KEY in your .env (see "

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    tools/yt_transcript.py, line 63 r = subprocess.run(

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.
