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

Rescanned at commit 727613df1841.

INSTALL_LIFECYCLE_HOOK SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_LIFECYCLE_HOOK Medium

    A package install hook (preinstall, install, postinstall or prepare) runs a script.

    package.json, line 16 prepare

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

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

    .agents/skills/commit/SKILL.md, line 52 - `.env`, `.env.*`, `*.pem`, `id_rsa*`, `credentials.json`, anything in `secrets/` — likely secrets.

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Pass

    Concern

    runs a script at install time.

    INSTALL_LIFECYCLE_HOOK
