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

Rescanned at commit 80d0ddeed0b6, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/mcp_obsidian_advanced/obsidian.py, line 120 response = requests.get(url, headers=self._get_headers(), verify=self.verify_ssl, timeout=self.timeout)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    README.md, line 115 2. Create a `.env` file in the working directory with the following variables (only `OBSIDIAN_API_KEY` and `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` are required):

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/mcp_obsidian_advanced/obsidian.py, line 11 api_key: str = str(os.getenv('OBSIDIAN_API_KEY', '')),

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.
