    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 7 .env

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/automox_mcp/auth.py, line 107 raw = os.environ.get("AUTOMOX_MCP_API_KEYS", "").strip()

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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.
