Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
internal/agent/menubar.go, line 194
return exec.Command(name, args...).Run()
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.
