NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
internal/server/links.go, line 79
resolved, err := f.fetch(ctx, link) - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
cmd/aeman/gitflags.go, line 190
// `.env` file or a heredoc would otherwise count as "set", skip the - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
cmd/aeman/main.go, line 451
cmd = exec.Command("open", url) - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
cmd/aeman/main.go, line 174
SessionKey: os.Getenv("AEMAN_SESSION_KEY"), - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.
internal/server/apiv1/api.gen.go, line 1
//go:build go1.22 - OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED 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.
