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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.

    CHAT_MODE.md, line 43 - **Message arrival: `fmsg watch` over the webapi WebSocket (decided

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    ARCHITECTURE.md, line 156 environment (set by the installer; never inherited from a project `.env`).

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    internal/cli/cli.go, line 210 cmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, r.Bin, append([]string{"--json"}, args...)...)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    main.go, line 217 if os.Getenv("FMSG_API_KEY") != "" {

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.

What was checked

    - **Message arrival: `fmsg watch` over the webapi WebSocket (decided

    INTERFACES.md, line 141
