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

Rescanned at commit 9467eef7a134, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    gads/server.py, line 296 def fetch(start, end):

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    gads/accounts.py, line 44 developer_token = os.environ.get("GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN", "")

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    tools/check_workflow.py, line 66 result = subprocess.run(['git', '-C', str(root), 'ls-files', '-z'], capture_output=True, text=True, check=False)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    gads/accounts.py, line 44 developer_token = os.environ.get("GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN", "")

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.
