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

Rescanned at commit 64fcbcadf6b3, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED 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.

    ui/src/api.ts, line 60 const res = await fetch(path, {

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    bench/phase2_eval.py, line 88 return subprocess.run(["git", "rev-parse", "--short", "HEAD"],

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    bench/phase2_ingest.py, line 271 tok = os.environ.get("PHASE2_OLLAMA_TOKEN")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    console/tests/fixtures/data_root/proj-alpha.db, line 1 SQLite format 3@ 2.��� ��

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.
