Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit b38bd812afc4, unchanged since the check below.
PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
src/resolve_mcp/installer.py, line 67
shutil.rmtree(dest) - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
stop.sh, line 43
if curl -fsS -m 2 -X POST "$url" -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
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.
