Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

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 OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/archive_history.py, line 32 def fetch(endpoint):

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

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

    history/femtech-horizonshield-dev-mcp.json, line 1 {

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    patch22_citability.py, line 55 r = subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "py_compile", tf.name], capture_output=True, text=True)

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

    patch22_citability.py, line 55

    r = subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "py_compile", tf.name], capture_output=True, text=True)

    patch25_feed_and_jsonld.py, line 44

    r = subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "py_compile", tf.name], capture_output=True, text=True)

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    scripts/archive_history.py, line 32

    def fetch(endpoint):

    scripts/archive_history.py, line 35

    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=60) as r:

    scripts/archive_history.py, line 50

    live = fetch(ep)

    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as r:

    scripts/build_register.py, line 119

    data = fetch()

  • Secrets

    Pass

    No read of a credential file or secret environment variable found.

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.

  • Obfuscation

    Concern

    contains an encoded blob in a file that should be readable.
