INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 3 pytricia>=1.3.0

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    mcp_server.py, line 1040 ttps://. Pass the URL exactly as you'd `curl -L` it; the server handles encoding."

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    DEPENDENCIES.md, line 200 | **python-dotenv** | 1.2.2 | .env file loading; env vars loaded via systemd on production |

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

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

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    app/codesec/injection.py, line 83 "Command Injection: os.system()",

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    mcp_server.py, line 278 API_KEY = os.environ.get("CONTRASTAPI_KEY", "")

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

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

  • Install and update

    Concern

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.
