Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Grade D

Two or more Medium findings, or a High finding. Only try it in a sandbox.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit eb4ac5b14e2d.

Pattern found, check before installing

The checks matched a pattern that needs a closer look. It does not mean the code is harmful. Read the quoted lines below.

  • NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT High

    host from input plus a credential path in operative code

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    skills/jfrog/references/jfrog-cli-install-upgrade.md, line 20 curl -fL https://install-cli.jfrog.io | sh

  • NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT High

    A file takes a URL or endpoint as input and has no fixed host list.

    skills/jfrog-init/scripts/jfrog-add-claude-marketplace.mjs, line 153 // curl checks HOME before the platform default.

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

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

    modules/package-resolution/scripts/eager-setup-receipt.mjs, line 3 // `jf setup` mutates USER-GLOBAL package-manager config (`~/.npmrc`,

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Pass

    No shell or command call was found in the code. This check does not read permissions an entry declares. A permission line to run shell commands and write or edit files was found in this repository, and it may apply to this entry.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

  • Network

    Serious

    accepts a host from input, with no fixed list in this file.
