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

Rescanned at commit d6af1ee45830, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    mcp/nullcost-provider-server.mjs, line 2028 const response = await fetch(url, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    bin/nullcost-plugin.mjs, line 251 return !new Set(['.git', 'node_modules', '.env']).has(first) && !rel.endsWith('.log');

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

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.
