Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit ba96f74234db, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    evals/lib/scorers/onboard-judges.ts, line 18 (like createFlag or getIdentityInfo) or curl commands in prose, mention of telemetry,

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    evals/lib/scorers/onboard-judges.ts, line 18 (like createFlag or getIdentityInfo) or curl commands in prose, mention of telemetry,

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/analyze-project/SKILL.md, line 569 - [ ] Check that `.env` is in `.gitignore` (so the secret stays out of git)

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    skills/migrate-optimizely/SKILL.md, line 1 ---

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    skills/onboard-confidence/auth.py, line 80 subprocess.Popen(['open', authorize_url])

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    skills/instrument-events/SKILL.md, line 385 clientSecret: process.env.CONFIDENCE_CLIENT_SECRET!,

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
