NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
install.sh, line 26
version="$(curl -fsSL "https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO}/releases/latest" \ - NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low
Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.
install.sh, line 26
version="$(curl -fsSL "https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO}/releases/latest" \ - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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.
