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

Rescanned at commit 1b14661bca0d, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/install.py, line 118 shutil.rmtree(install_dir)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/start-project-foundations/references/php.md, line 158 - Keep secrets out of `.env` examples and logs.

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.
