Why this grade

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

    wizard/src/lib/uat/authenticate.ts, line 41 return await fetch(url, opts);

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    pyproject.toml, line 39 dotenv = [".env"]

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    bump_versions.py, line 25 subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    inspector.py, line 12 api_key = os.getenv("SCOUT_API_KEY")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 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.
