Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit 280f411e0baf, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/get_sandbox_token.py, line 68 with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/get_sandbox_token.py, line 14 - CLOVER_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and CLOVER_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET in .env

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.
