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

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    package.json, line 49 @alpha-arcade/sdk

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    skills/algorand-interaction/references/examples-algorand-mcp.md, line 819 curl -s -H "PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: ${PAYMENT_B64}" "<resource_url>"

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    skills/algorand-interaction/references/examples-algorand-mcp.md, line 819 curl -s -H "PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: ${PAYMENT_B64}" "<resource_url>"

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 2 .env

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    src/resources/knowledge/taxonomy/algokit:utils:typescript:code:classes:types_app_client.AppClient.md, line 1 [@algorandfoundation/algokit-utils](../README.md) / [types/app-client](../modules/types_app_client.md) / AppClient

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/networkConfig.ts, line 22 const ALGORAND_TOKEN = process.env.ALGORAND_TOKEN || '';

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.

  • Install and update

    Concern

    dependencies are not pinned.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach example.x402.goplausible.xyz. The description does not name that host.
