Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/config.ts, line 124 * `create-upload-ticket` hands to a browser and bakes into its curl command.

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    CONTRIBUTING.md, line 9 cp .env.example .env # fill in LEXWARE_API_KEY and MCP_AUTH_TOKEN

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.
