Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/self_check.py, line 52 completed = subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 pybtex>=0.26.1,<0.27

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/manage-manuscript-citations/scripts/online_sources.py, line 50 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=timeout, context=context) as response:

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.
