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

Rescanned at commit 05c920d629de, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    packages/mcpctl/registry/registry_manager.ts, line 25 const response = await fetch(url);

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    packages/registry/src/authMiddleware.ts, line 6 const expectedToken = process.env.AUTH_SECRET;

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.
