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

Rescanned at commit 7e5ec934449b, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/client.ts, line 71 const res = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}${path}`, { method, headers, body });

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    src/index.ts, line 10 const API_KEY = process.env.GURUPDF_API_KEY ?? "";

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/index.ts, line 10 const API_KEY = process.env.GURUPDF_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.
