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

Rescanned at commit a54eb3805282, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/lineai_mcp_server/server.py, line 22 # Only load from .env file if we're not running tests

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    context/llms-full.txt, line 1 this file comes from https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms-full.txt

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/lineai_mcp_server/utils.py, line 56 TOKEN_CACHE_TTL = int(os.getenv('LINEAI_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL', '3600')) # Default 1 hour

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.
