PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/gimp_agent_mcp/bridge_client.py, line 336 proc = subprocess.Popen(

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/gimp_agent_mcp/bridge_client.py, line 81 sock = socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout=5.0)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/gimp_agent_mcp/bridge_client.py, line 49 env_token = os.environ.get("GIMP_AGENT_TOKEN")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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.
