hush

Use whenever an agent needs to STORE, GENERATE, or USE a secret such as an API token, signing key, or password.

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.

Rescanned at commit 858d8a693cef, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    helpers/hush-backup-schedule.mjs, line 41 finally { fs.rmSync(tmp, { force: true }); }

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    SKILL.md, line 270 hush run OPKEY=app-operator-key -- curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPKEY" https://.../endpoint

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    README.md, line 30 chat paste, no temp files, no `.env` to commit by accident.

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    helpers/hush-bitwarden-schedule.mjs, line 199 delete process.env.BW_CLIENTSECRET;

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.
