Rescanned at commit 22ff631f5eaf, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    plugins/ai-job-search/skills/job-search-assistant/assets/workspace-template/tools/check_framework_version.py, line 26 res = subprocess.run(["git"] + args, cwd=str(ROOT), capture_output=True, text=True)

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.
