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

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    benchmarks/worlds.py, line 63 proc = subprocess.run(args, capture_output=True, text=True, check=False)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/binky/builtin_adapters.py, line 107 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=15) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/binky/init_cmd.py, line 13 to export. The ``.env`` file is read for its *key names* only; its values are

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.
