Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit b3a5a4fe1ae2, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    document-agent/submit_parse_job.py, line 111 os.remove(downloaded_file_path)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    document-agent/submit_parse_job.py, line 60 response = httpx.get(url, follow_redirects=True)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    README.md, line 79 If you'd like to store these files in `.env` file you can specify them like so:

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    document-agent/server.py, line 11 API_KEY = os.getenv("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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    document-agent/submit_parse_job.py, line 111

    os.remove(downloaded_file_path)

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

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

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    document-agent/submit_parse_job.py, line 60

    response = httpx.get(url, follow_redirects=True)

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    document-agent/server.py, line 11

    API_KEY = os.getenv("API_KEY")

    document-agent/submit_parse_job.py, line 12

    API_KEY = os.getenv("API_KEY")

    README.md, line 79

    If you'd like to store these files in `.env` file you can specify them like so:

    Show more

    multi-agent/server.py, line 8

    single_agent/server.py, line 8

    API_KEY = os.getenv("API_KEY")

    .gitignore, line 12

    # Credentials
