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

Rescanned at commit 1f4606b7f2d0, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    src/agent-tools.mjs, line 192 || /(?:^|\/)(?:id_rsa|id_ed25519|known_hosts|authorized_keys)$/.test(normalized);

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    scripts/install.ps1, line 620 $failureBridgeTemplateBase64 = "aW1wb3J0e3BhdGhUb0ZpbGVVUkx9ZnJvbSJub2RlOnVybCI7Y29uc3QgcD1KU09OLnBhcnNlKEJ1ZmZlci5mcm9tKCJfX1BBWUxPQURfXyIsImJhc2U2NCIpLnRvU3RyaW5nKCJ1dGY4IikpO2xl

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.
