Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit abb46ee216c2, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.

    action/src/index.ts, line 36 const response = await fetch(url, {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    action/src/index.ts, line 36 const response = await fetch(url, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    packages/server/src/bootstrap.ts, line 19 log.info('Or add to .env file:');

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    apps/demo/src/index.ts, line 24 const API_KEY = process.env.AGENTGATE_API_KEY || "";

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    pnpm-lock.yaml, line 1 lockfileVersion: '9.0'

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

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

    pnpm-lock.yaml, line 1 lockfileVersion: '9.0'

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.
