SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    demo/zigbee2mqtt_scenario/run_demo.sh, line 8 env_file="$script_dir/.env"

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    demo/zigbee2mqtt_scenario/smoke_test.py, line 98 subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    docs/install/OS_INSTALL.md, line 39 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    demo/zigbee2mqtt_scenario/publisher.py, line 171 os.getenv("MQTT_PASSWORD", "topicgate-demo-password"),

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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.
