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

Rescanned at commit a543d77577b1, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    app/main.py, line 865 shutil.rmtree(snapshot_dir, ignore_errors=True)

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 fastapi

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    mnemolis_tool.py, line 54 resp = requests.post(

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    app/config.py, line 22 model_config = ConfigDict(env_file=".env")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    CHANGELOG-ARCHIVE.md, line 1 # Changelog Archive (v1.0.0 - v3.44.1)

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    app/main.py, line 865

    shutil.rmtree(snapshot_dir, ignore_errors=True)

  • Install and update

    Concern

    dependencies are not pinned.

    INSTALL_UNPINNED

    requirements.txt, line 1

    fastapi

  • Network

    Concern

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

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    mnemolis_tool.py, line 54

    resp = requests.post(

    app/llm.py, line 23

    # used the bare `requests.post()` module function, never a `requests.Session`

    app/main.py, line 448

    resp = requests.get(f"{settings.kiwix_url}/catalog/v2/entries?count=1", timeout=3)

    resp = requests.get(settings.uptime_kuma_url, timeout=3)

    app/main.py, line 511

    resp = requests.get(

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    app/config.py, line 22

    model_config = ConfigDict(env_file=".env")

    .gitignore, line 15

    # Local environment / secrets

    CHANGELOG-ARCHIVE.md, line 931

    - **`.gitignore`** added - `.pytest_cache/`, `.hypothesis/`, local `data/`, `.env`, and the personal (non-template) `docker-compose.yml` are no longer tracked going forward.

    Show more

    README.md, line 866

    Use the exact name Docker reports in any manual `docker run -v` command. Set `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` in a `.env` file for a stable, predictable prefix regardless of folder name:

    README.md, line 869

    echo "COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=mnemolis" > .env

    wiki/Backup-and-Restore.md, line 40

    echo "COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=mnemolis" > .env
