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

Rescanned at commit 557eb3f924e3.

OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

Why this grade

  • OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD Medium

    Contains a very long line with almost no spaces in a script or style file.

    langchain/uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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

    Concern

    can delete files.

  • Install and update

    Note

    The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER

    python/src/adeu/cli.py, line 132

    " macOS/Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n"

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.
