Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    server.py, line 126 response = await client.post(f"{BASE_URL}/articles", json=article_data, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json", "api-key": os.getenv("DEV_TO_API_KEY")}, timeout=10.0)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    server.py, line 126 response = await client.post(f"{BASE_URL}/articles", json=article_data, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json", "api-key": os.getenv("DEV_TO_API_KEY")}, timeout=10.0)

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.
