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

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    assets/make_graphics.py, line 352 (1, "missing .env and launchd brings it back. Put the env into the plist.", "ink", 400, 3),

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    assets/make_graphics.py, line 477 subprocess.run([chrome, "--headless=new", "--disable-gpu", "--hide-scrollbars",

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.
