Rescanned at commit 778176ca32d0.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/api-client/client.ts, line 58 const res = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}${path}`, fetchOptions);

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    project.json, line 39 "envFile": "apps/mcp/.env"

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/stdio.ts, line 15 const defaultApiKey = process.env.KNOWTIS_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.
