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

Rescanned at commit d7ecf826c597, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/render-background-workers/references/queue-framework-setup.md, line 91 config.redis = { url: ENV.fetch("REDIS_URL") }

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/render-debug/references/error-patterns.md, line 617 .env

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    scripts/validate-render-yaml-hook.sh, line 50 echo " Linux: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/render-oss/cli/main/bin/install.sh | sh"

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    skills/render-debug/references/log-analysis.md, line 239 ReferenceError: process.env.API_KEY is undefined

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.
