Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    ExternalAttacker-App.py, line 151 response = requests.get('https://mordavid.com/md_versions.yaml')

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    ExternalAttacker-App.py, line 151 response = requests.get('https://mordavid.com/md_versions.yaml')

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    ExternalAttacker-App.py, line 56 process = subprocess.Popen(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    ExternalAttacker-App.py, line 15 app.secret_key = os.environ.get('FLASK_SECRET_KEY', secrets.token_hex(32))

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.
