Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit 8edcc2e920d2, unchanged since the check below.
PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
diaphora_gui_listener.py, line 142
os.remove(staged_output_path) - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
diaphora_mcp/core/export.py, line 351
resp = requests.get(_PLUGIN_HEALTH_URL, timeout=2) - SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low
The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.
.gitignore, line 6

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.
