Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
scripts/study_workspace.py, line 218
shutil.rmtree(tmp_root, ignore_errors=True) - INSTALL_UNPINNED Low
Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.
requirements.txt, line 2
mcp>=1.0.0,<2 - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
mcp-servers/arxiv/server.py, line 58
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=DEFAULT_TIMEOUT) as resp: - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
docs/PROJECT-SPEC.md, line 471
.env - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
wiki/scripts/wiki_server.py, line 54
_secret_key = os.environ.get("WIKI_PASSWORD") or frontend.get("password")
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.
