Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    client/src/index.ts, line 5 * it does in one sitting. Zero dependencies; global fetch (Node >= 18,

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    client/smoke.mjs, line 3 // untracked .env at the repo root). Not run in CI - CI runs the fixture

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    client/smoke.mjs, line 16 const key = process.env.MESS_KEY ?? keyFromDotEnv();

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.
