Two or more Medium findings, or a High finding. Only try it in a sandbox.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    mcp_plesk_dev_docs/infrastructure/sources/acquisition.py, line 162 result = subprocess.run( # nosec

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    install.sh, line 19 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

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.

What was checked

  • Permissions

    Concern

    requests shell access. No manifest field names shell or command execution. can delete files.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

    install.sh, line 19

    curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    mcp_plesk_dev_docs/settings.py, line 16

    env_file=".env",

    - `.env` files or config files with secrets committed to repo.

    .github/skills/security-best-practices/references/javascript-typescript-nextjs-web-server-security.md, line 219

    - MUST store secrets in environment variables or a secret manager; MUST NOT commit `.env*` files.

    .github/skills/security-best-practices/references/javascript-typescript-nextjs-web-server-security.md, line 220

    - MUST treat `.env*` as sensitive; Next.js warns you “almost never want to commit these files.” ([Next.js][7])
