NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/validate_server_json.py, line 16 with urllib.request.urlopen(schema_url) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .dockerignore, line 66 .env

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    docs/getting-started/prerequisites.md, line 15 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    pagerduty_mcp/context/application_context_strategy.py, line 20 api_key = os.getenv("PAGERDUTY_USER_API_KEY")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    poetry.lock, line 1 # This file is automatically @generated by Poetry 2.1.3 and should not be changed by hand.

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.
