Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit 6f6804df7a43, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    bridge.mjs, line 194 fs.rmSync(lockPath(threadId), { force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    ipc.mjs, line 50 this.socket = net.connect(this.endpoint ?? resolveIpcEndpoint());

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    release.test.mjs, line 52 assert.throws(() => validatePackageFiles(root, ['assets/.env'], new Set()), /Private/);

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    scripts/publish-release.mjs, line 149 const api = new GitHubRestApi({ token: process.env.GH_TOKEN, repository: process.env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY });

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.
