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

Rescanned at commit dd2019056371, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    evals/runner.py, line 409 result = subprocess.run(

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    evals/runner.py, line 72 s = socket.create_connection(("127.0.0.1", port), timeout=2)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    evals/runner.py, line 33 - evals/.env with API credentials (see evals/.env.example)

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/analyze.py, line 106 sas = os.environ.get("AZURE_SAS_TOKEN") or env.get("AZURE_SAS_TOKEN", "")

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.
