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

Rescanned at commit 2628f02d92e5, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    benchmark/bite.py, line 93 proc = subprocess.run( # noqa: S603 - fixed argv, no shell

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    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.
