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

Rescanned at commit c095963ad5d1, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    internal/mirror/resolver.go, line 145 html, err := r.fetch(ctx, r.statusPageURL)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    internal/modes/cli.go, line 25 l.Warn("Error loading .env file", zap.Error(err))

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    internal/env/env.go, line 69 secretKey := os.Getenv("ANNAS_SECRET_KEY")

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.
