Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

Why this grade

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    experiments/standalone-client-roadmap/shared/standalone-app.mjs, line 819 *{box-sizing:border-box}body{margin:0;background:var(--bg);color:var(--text);font:14px/1.45 system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,sans-serif}header{display:flex;align-items:center;justi

  • OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD Medium

    Contains a very long line with almost no spaces in a script or style file.

    experiments/standalone-client-roadmap/shared/standalone-app.mjs, line 819 *{box-sizing:border-box}body{margin:0;background:var(--bg);color:var(--text);font:14px/1.45 system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,sans-serif}header{display:flex;align-items:center;justi

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Pass

    No shell or command execution found, and no extra permission was declared.

  • Install and update

    Pass
