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

Rescanned at commit 0b8bb044d30a, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    scripts/test-guard.sh, line 106 t "refactor lane: find from root blocked" "$CARTOGRAPHER" "find / -name id_rsa" 2

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.
