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

Rescanned at commit 15d16aba427b, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/ida/handlers/lvars.rs, line 112 let vars = (0..cfunc.local_variable_count()?).map(|index| Ok((index, fetch(index)?)));

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/ida/lock.rs, line 555 .env(LOCK_PROBE_PATH, &path)

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    bench/run.py, line 94 self._proc = subprocess.Popen(

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    src/server/mod.rs, line 1 //! MCP server implementation with IDA Pro tools.

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.
