Pixellab Pip
Meet PixelLab Pip: a tiny pup who fetches the right PixelLab workflow.
Compatibility: Portable across standard formats.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit fb869543cdda.
PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
dev-tools/pixellab-doc-watch.py, line 549
subprocess.run(["git", "init"], cwd=cache_dir, check=True) - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
dev-tools/pixellab-doc-watch.py, line 109
def fetch(source: dict[str, str], timeout: int) -> dict[str, Any]: - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
docs/resources.md, line 28
Use PixelLab AI Skill for its recipe, manifest, and helper-script production workflow. Its `.env.local` pattern works because its helper auto-loads that file. Use Pip for concise, - 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.
