Grade C
One Medium finding. Read the report before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT
Why this grade
- INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium
Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).
youtrack-mcp/.github/workflows/release.yml, line 67
run: "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist/releases/download/v0.30.0/cargo-dist-installer.sh | sh"
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.

Secrets
Concern
reads a credential or environment file.
SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV
README.md, line 25
cp .env.example .env
docs/configuration.md, line 5
The binary reads environment variables at startup. Docker Compose reads `.env`

`environment` sections. Start with [`.env.example`](../.env.example).

`.env` excluded, for example by adding `.env` to `.git/info/exclude`, or use your
docs/configuration.md, line 48
Changing transport values only in `.env` does not override Compose's fixed values.
docs/deployment.md, line 19
cp .env.example .env
docs/deployment.md, line 23
Fill in `.env` with the generated `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN`, `YOUTRACK_URL`,

| Optional settings have no effect | `.env` alone does not forward additional binary settings; add them to Compose's environment mapping. |
