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

Rescanned at commit a0e6dfb62002, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    docs/USAGE.md, line 9 -http-timeout int timeout (seconds) for remote config fetch (default 10)

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    docs/USAGE.md, line 9 -http-timeout int timeout (seconds) for remote config fetch (default 10)

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

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

    testdata/stdio-server/main.go, line 122 // confirm mcpServers.<name>.env reached the subprocess.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    oauth.go, line 319 err = exec.Command("xdg-open", rawURL).Start()

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.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

    oauth.go, line 319

    err = exec.Command("xdg-open", rawURL).Start()

    oauth.go, line 321

    err = exec.Command("rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", rawURL).Start()

    oauth.go, line 323

    err = exec.Command("open", rawURL).Start()
