Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    scripts/core/http.mjs, line 249 response = await fetch(url, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 2 .env

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

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

    README.md, line 49 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hunterschep/canvas-lms-codex-plugin/main/install.sh | bash

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/canvas-mcp-server.mjs, line 330 hasCanvasAccessToken: Boolean(process.env.CANVAS_ACCESS_TOKEN || process.env.CANVAS_API_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.
