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

Rescanned at commit c22daaf7f438, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_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.

    assets/app.js, line 73 const response = await fetch("./api/" + route + "?" + new URLSearchParams(params),

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/install.py, line 66 "__pycache__", "*.pyc", ".git", ".DS_Store", "dist", ".venv", ".env", ".env.*"))

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    scripts/git_explorer.py, line 73 process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=out, stderr=err, env=env)

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.
