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

Rescanned at commit a008041fbaff, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/cli/commands/daemon-commands.ts, line 195 await fs.unlink(pidFile);

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/test-npx.sh, line 65 curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:3002

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    web/.gitignore, line 45 # dotenv environment variables file

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/daemon/daemon-web-server.ts, line 58 const authToken = process.env.MCPDOG_AUTH_TOKEN;

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    package-lock.json, line 1 {

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.
