Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
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
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
scripts/audit_server.sh, line 3
# Usage: scripts/audit_server.sh (run from repo root; needs curl and jq). Exits 1 on any FAIL. - NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low
Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.
scripts/audit_server.sh, line 3
# Usage: scripts/audit_server.sh (run from repo root; needs curl and jq). Exits 1 on any FAIL. - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
scripts/audit_public.py, line 21
or name == '.env' or (name.startswith('.env.') and name != '.env.example') - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
scripts/audit_public.py, line 35
staged = subprocess.run(['git', 'ls-files', '--stage', '-z'], cwd=root,
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.
