Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

One skill to rule them all.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/gearcore_hub/registry.py, line 243 result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/gearcore_hub/third_party/superpowers/skills/brainstorming/scripts/helper.js, line 80 ws = new WebSocket(websocketUrl());

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/gearcore_hub/third_party/superpowers/skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.cjs, line 123 const TOKEN_FILE = process.env.BRAINSTORM_TOKEN_FILE || null;

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.
