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 SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    server/src/mcp/tools/attachments.ts, line 263 await fs.unlink(filePath);

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    client/src/components/Preview.tsx, line 1261 const response = await fetch(src, { credentials: "

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    server/src/config/auth.ts, line 18 " Set AUTH_PASSWORD in .env file to enable authentication",

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    server/src/index.ts, line 96 process.env.SESSION_SECRET || "codex-dev-secret-change-in-production",

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    package-lock.json, line 1 {

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.
