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

Rescanned at commit 5639338dcdcb, unchanged since the check below.

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High

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

    npm/bin/nativ-mcp.js, line 42 execSync(`curl -LsSf ${UV_INSTALL_URL} | 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

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

    deploy/configure_domain.py, line 14

    access = subprocess.check_output(["gcloud", "auth", "print-access-token"], text=True).strip()

    scripts/publish_release.py, line 31

    subprocess.run(["npm", "whoami", "--registry", "https://registry.npmjs.org"], check=True, cwd=root)

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER

    npm/bin/nativ-mcp.js, line 42

    execSync(`curl -LsSf ${UV_INSTALL_URL} | sh`, {

    npm/bin/nativ-mcp.js, line 49

    "Install manually: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n"

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach pypi.org. The description does not name that host.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST

    deploy/configure_domain.py, line 24

    with urllib.request.urlopen(request, context=context, timeout=30) as response:

    scripts/publish_release.py, line 39

    response = httpx.get(f"https://pypi.org/pypi/nativ-mcp/{version}/json", timeout=30)

    scripts/smoke_hosted.py, line 20

    health = await http.get(base + "/health")

    scripts/smoke_hosted.py, line 22

    schema = await http.get(base + "/openapi.json")

    scripts/smoke_hosted.py, line 25

    json_schema = await http.get(base + "/json-openapi.json")

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED
