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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    .github/scripts/verify_smithery_release.py, line 47 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=timeout) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    core/config.py, line 9 # Load .env file from project root

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    core/config.py, line 22 api_token: str = field(default_factory=lambda: os.getenv("ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN", ""))

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.
