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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    .github/self-explanatory-code-commenting.instructions.md, line 73 const response = await fetch(githubApiUrl);

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    install-claude.sh, line 43 # Load environment variables from .env if it exists

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    internal/config/config.go, line 46 IMAPPassword: os.Getenv("IMAP_PASSWORD"),

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.
