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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.

    axiom_validation/release_tag_controller.py, line 98 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=20) as response:

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    axiom_validation/release_tag_controller.py, line 98 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=20) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 4 .env

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    axiom_validation/release_policy.py, line 260 result = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/create-release-tag.py, line 76 read_token = os.environ.get("GITHUB_TOKEN", "")

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.
