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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/fizz_garden.py, line 373 proc = subprocess.run( # noqa: S603 - fixed argv, no shell

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    Dockerfile, line 116 CMD python -c "import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:8050/health')" || exit 1

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    INSTALL.md, line 78 cat > docker/.env <<EOF

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    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.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    scripts/fizz_garden.py, line 373

    proc = subprocess.run( # noqa: S603 - fixed argv, no shell

    scripts/fizz_garden.py, line 391

    shutil.rmtree(tmpdir, ignore_errors=True)

    scripts/fizz_traces.py, line 283

    proc = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, check=False, cwd=tmp_path)

    verify/mutmut/mutmut_compat.py, line 161

    shutil.rmtree(_FALLBACK["root"], ignore_errors=True)

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach pattern-tei-embed. The description does not name that host.

    NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST

    Dockerfile, line 116

    CMD python -c "import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:8050/health')" || exit 1

    INSTALL.md, line 214

    docker exec architecture-pattern-mcp python -c "import urllib.request; print(urllib.request.urlopen('http://pattern-tei-embed:8080/health').status)" # 200 = TEI reachable

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    .gitignore, line 131

    # Environments

    INSTALL.md, line 78

    cat > docker/.env <<EOF

    INSTALL.md, line 90

    # .env - read by the unit (EnvironmentFile) and by compose interpolation.

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

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

  • Obfuscation

    Note

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

    OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

  • Licence

    Pass

    A licence file is present (LICENSE).

  • Maintainer activity

    Pass

    The latest commit is within the last 365 days.

Note

Hygiene check of commit 7667ad78131b. can delete files. can reach pattern-tei-embed. The description does not name that host. reads a credential or environment file. a file was over the read cap and was not fully read.
