Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit eee5e8df9e97, unchanged since the check below.

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.

    scripts/check-api.mjs, line 25 const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { Accept: "application/json" } });

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/run-tests.mjs, line 34 const envFile = join(repoRoot, ".env");

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.
