Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit e710b76c703e, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    packages/apprise-rmcp/scripts/check-package.js, line 450 fs.rmSync(tempDir, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    install.sh, line 31 curl "${curl_args[@]}" "$base" -o "$temporary_dir/rapprise-installer.sh"

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    entrypoint.sh, line 21 if [ -f "${DATA_DIR}/.env" ]; then

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/block-env-commits.sh, line 6 ' "$staged" | grep -E '(^|/)[^/]*\.env[^/]*$' | grep -v '\.env\.example$' || true)

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.
