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

Rescanned at commit 69524d8f023e, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

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

    examples/datakoot_macro_agent.py, line 187 return os.path.isfile(os.path.expanduser("~/.headlinearena/credentials.json"))

  • OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD Medium

    Contains a very long line with almost no spaces in a script or style file.

    worker.js, line 550 const __DK_COUNTRIES = {"aruba":"AW","abw":"AW","afghanistan":"AF","afg":"AF","angola":"AO","ago":"AO","albania":"AL","alb":"AL","andorra":"AD","and":"AD","united arab emirates":"A

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.
