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.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    package.json, line 31 @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    hooks/claude-status.mjs, line 53 await fetch(url + "/status", { method: "POST", heade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    hooks/secret-guard.mjs, line 33 // "sources": ["~/my-repo/.env.local", ...], credential files whose values must never appear in argv

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/setup.mjs, line 36 cpSync(REPO, CLIENT_HOME, { recursive: true, force: true, filter: (src) => !/[\\/](\.git|\.tok\.[^\\/]+\.json|\.env[^\\/]*)$/.test(src) });

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Pass

    No shell or command execution found, and no extra permission was declared.
