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

Rescanned at commit 6980cfaf47f5, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/toolpermit/web/static/app.js, line 34 const response = await fetch(path, options);

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 2 .env

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    plugins/toolpermit/skills/toolpermit/scripts/doctor.py, line 30 result = subprocess.run(

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.
