Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit d5686bb2d9d2.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.
api/mcp.ts, line 10
const res = await fetch(`${LASTSEARCH_API_URL}${path}`, { - NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low
Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.
api/mcp.ts, line 10
const res = await fetch(`${LASTSEARCH_API_URL}${path}`, { - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
src/pages/Developers.tsx, line 835
{ step: "3", cmd: "pnpm install && cp .env.example .env", label: "Install & configure" }, - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
apps/mcp/src/index.ts, line 16
const LASTSEARCH_API_KEY = process.env.LASTSEARCH_API_KEY ?? process.env.BROWSE_API_KEY; - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

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.
