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

Rescanned at commit c4f4a1fe7868, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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/clients/cockpit-client.ts, line 28 const { data } = await axios.get(`${this.root}/api/v1/cockpit/health`, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    plan/2026-04-01-track1-npm-distribution.md, line 218 确保 `dist/` 目录包含在发布内容中,`src/`(TypeScript 源码)、`node_modules/`、`.env` 等不包含。

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/auth/detector.test.ts, line 11 delete process.env.ALEPHANT_VIRTUAL_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.
