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

Rescanned at commit 895c3da3a52c, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/memcord/archival.py, line 131 await aiofiles.os.remove(str(backup_path))

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 112 .env.local

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.md, line 52 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 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.
