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

Rescanned at commit 526e95524e96, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

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

    skills/use-railway/references/analyze-db.md, line 117 ls ~/.ssh/*.pub 2>/dev/null # list local public keys

  • OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD Medium

    Contains a very long line with almost no spaces in a script or style file.

    skills/use-railway/scripts/analyze-mysql.py, line 161 QUERY_GLOBAL_STATUS = """SHOW GLOBAL STATUS WHERE Variable_name IN ('Threads_connected','Threads_running','Max_used_connections','Questions','Slow_queries','Com_select','Com_insert

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.
