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 INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    npm/bin/resolve.js, line 153 fs.unlinkSync(tmp);

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    install.sh, line 10 # pipefail is not in POSIX. Where the shell has it, take it - a failing curl in

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    plugin/hooks/testdata/commands.tsv, line 41 grep -rn DATABASE_URL .env none

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.md, line 58 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/munhq/codeindex/main/install.sh | sh

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    npm/publish-smithery.mjs, line 49 const key = process.env.SMITHERY_API_KEY;

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.
