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

Rescanned at commit d34e609baf88, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    demo/demo.py, line 51 subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 10 mcp>=1.21.1

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    fcpxml/bridges.py, line 41 with socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout=timeout):

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.
