PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
generate_codex_config.py, line 96
return subprocess.run(command, check=check, text=True, capture_output=True) - INSTALL_UNPINNED Low
Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.
requirements.txt, line 12
mcp[cli]>=1.28.1,<2 - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
basecamp_client.py, line 129
return requests.get(url, auth=self.auth, headers=self.headers, params=params, - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
basecamp_client.py, line 91
raise ValueError("Missing required credentials for Basic Auth. Set them in .env file or pass them to the constructor.") - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
basecamp_client.py, line 88
self.password = password or os.getenv('BASECAMP_PASSWORD')
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.
