Grok Build Codex Plugin
Codex CLI plugin: delegate reviews and bounded coding tasks to the local Grok Build CLI via a bundled MCP server
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade C
One Medium finding. Read the findings before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit 1373aa297d68, 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).
mcp-server/src/lib/git-context.mjs, line 10
const SENSITIVE_NAME = /(?:^\.|\.env(?:\.|$)|credential|secret|token|password|private|id_rsa|\.pem$|\.key$)/i;
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.
