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

SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    src/cli.ts, line 2106 console.log("Nothing to grant on this platform: the Claude login is read from <config dir>/.credentials.json. Run `headroom doctor` to check it, or `claude` to log in.");

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    src/browser-report-fonts.ts, line 7 port const SOURCE_SERIF_WOFF2_BASE64 = "d09GMgABAAAAACnYABEAAAAAZgAAACl1AAQBBgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGUYaFhvFKhyBKgZgP1NUQVReAIF+EQgK8TjbNAE2AiQDhBALggoABCAFhWoHIAwHG8JYRQdixjgA

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.
