Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    install.sh, line 4 # curl -fsSL https://relaydeck.onrender.com/install | sh

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    scripts/site_images.py, line 90 subprocess.run(command, check=True) # noqa: S603 ImageMagick comes from PATH on the developer's machine

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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

    Concern

    requests shell access. No manifest field names shell or command execution.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

    scripts/site_images.py, line 90

    subprocess.run(command, check=True) # noqa: S603 ImageMagick comes from PATH on the developer's machine

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

    README.md, line 52

    curl -fsSL https://relaydeck.onrender.com/install | sh

    install.sh, line 4

    # curl -fsSL https://relaydeck.onrender.com/install | sh

    install.sh, line 70

    curl -fsSL $INSTALL_URL | sh

    Show more

    install.sh, line 71

    curl -fsSL $INSTALL_URL | sh -s -- [options]

  • Network

    Concern

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

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    install.sh, line 363

    curl -fsSL --connect-timeout 15 --max-time 120 \

    install.sh, line 566

    # Sets VERIFIED to ok, bad, or error. The key goes to curl through stdin, not through an argument.

    install.sh, line 568

    has_cmd curl || die "curl is necessary to check the API key."

    install.sh, line 573

    sh -c 'curl -sS -K - -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --connect-timeout 15 --max-time 90 "$2" 2>"$1"' \

    install.sh, line 578

    curl -sS -K - -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 15 --max-time 90 \

    install.sh, line 1398

    # or jq, because no agent brings them. curl gets the API key through stdin, and the script prints

    install.sh, line 1669

    curl -sS -K - -A "relaydeck-hook/$VERSION ($AGENT)" -H 'Accept: application/json' \

    install.sh, line 1823

    command -v curl >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 0

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    src/mcp_client_server/config.py, line 27

    model_config = SettingsConfigDict(env_file=".env", env_ignore_empty=True, extra="ignore", frozen=True)

    .env.example, line 1

    # Copy this file to .env for local work. Do not commit .env.

    .gitignore, line 11

    .env

    Show more

    .gitignore, line 13

    !.env.example

    AGENTS.md, line 38

    - All configuration is environment variables, listed in `.env.example`. No secret goes in the repository.

    docs/self-hosting.md, line 20

    cp .env.example .env

    docs/self-hosting.md, line 39

    All configuration is environment variables. `.env.example` lists them. An empty value is the same as no value.

  • Obfuscation

    Note

    a file was over the read cap and was not fully read.
