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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    download_and_verify.py, line 31 output = subprocess.check_output(['wc', '-l', filepath]).decode('utf-8')

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    download_and_verify.py, line 22 resp = requests.get(url, timeout=15)

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    download_and_verify.py, line 22 resp = requests.get(url, timeout=15)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/nyc_property_intel/config.py, line 3 Reads from environment variables and .env file. All tool modules

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/alerting.py, line 22 api_key = os.environ.get("RESEND_API_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.
